The following quote is from "Written In My Own Heart's Blood" by Diana Gabaldon ch 57 "Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night" copyright © 2014 by Diana Gabaldon all rights reserved


"Thy life's journey lies along its own path, Ian," she said, "and I cannot share thy journey---but I can walk beside thee. And I will."

The woman standing behind them in the line heaved a deep, contented sigh.

"Now, that's a pretty and right thing to say, sweetheart," she said to Rachel, in approving tones. And switching her gaze to Ian, looked him skeptically up and down. He was dressed in buckskins, clout, and calico shirt, and, bar the feathers in his hair and the tattoos, didn't look to outlandish, he thought.

"You probably don't deserve her," the woman said, shaking her head doubtfully. "But try, there's a good lad."

[> Sorry, a little late this morning. I was tending to some "Bees" late into the night, and fell off to sleep. Will have to git back to the hive soon. I can hear the buzz calling me. 🐝🐝🐝 -- JamesG, Wed, January 26 2022, 3:34:01

[> I love this observation and bit of advice for Ian & Rachel. So far, Rachel continues to walk next to Ian, and he does try to deserve her. -- DianaH, Fri, January 28 2022, 7:02:08

[> [> I try to use Rachel as my spirit animal for her quiet, calm strength and depth of seeing, quickly understanding and helping in difficult situations. -- Kathy in PA, Fri, January 28 2022, 12:10:27
