Subject: QOTD for Saturday, 12/24/2022

Quote of the Day for Saturday, December 24, 2022 from Outlander, Chapter 41, From the Womb of the Earth by Diana Gabaldon. Copyright 1991, all rights reserved.

The moon above was a Christmas moon, so large as almost to fill the empty window. It seemed no wonder that the tides of the sea and woman should be subject to the pull of that stately orb, so close and so commanding.

But my own tides moved no longer to that chaste and sterile summons, and the knowledge of my freedom raced like danger through my blood.

“I have a gift for you too,” I said suddenly to Jamie. He turned toward me and his hand slid, large and sure over the plane of my still-flat stomach.

“Have you, now?” he said.

And the world was all around us, new with possibility.

I hope you enjoyed the week of presents! There are so many great lines in the books. May you all have a Merry Christmas (if you celebrate) and definitely a Happy New Year with Family, Friends, Health, and Warmth.

[> I did, I did, I did love your QOTDs. And feel an affinity to the moon even though my tides no longer rise. I think of that second paragraph often when I’m looking at the moon. -- Kathy in PA, Sat, December 24 2022, 11:42:38
