Subject: QOTD for Tuesday, September 27, 2022

The following quote is from An Echo in the Bone by Diana Gabaldon, Chapter 11, Transverse Lie. Copywrite 2009 by Diana Gabaldon. All rights reserved.

I felt weirdly disembodied, caught between past and future, nothing visible save the whirling white silence that surrounded me. And yet I felt calmer than I had in many days. I felt the weight of Jamie's hand on my head with its whispered blessing. "O blessed Michael of the Red Domain..."

It was a blessing given to a warrior going out to battle. I had given it to him, more than once. He'd never done such a thing before, and I had no idea what made him do it now---but the words glowed in my heart, a small shield against the dangers ahead.

[> The title reminds me of “Call The Midwife” because they’ve dealt with this. But I don’t remember exactly what’s happening here. Was this when Claire was shot? -- Kathy in PA, Tue, September 27 2022, 12:29:42
