Thanks for your responses. I gather that the passage is problematic, but not overwhelming so. On the other hand, rereading it I realized that there's another big problem here not apparent in an excerpt so I'm rethinking an important element in the novel as a whole having to do with the dream- and soulscapes. See? Any sort of feedback helps.
Tomorrow, back to the barn. I haven't riden in weeks, by choice, although I continue to do chores. It isn't clear to me if I've turned into a coward or if I'm being sensible for someone who nearly qualifies for Medicare. Some of both, probably. Physical courage gets a lot harder as one ages, and I've had my share of bone-breaking falls, thank you very much. How lucky Jame is, to age so slowly.
