Kindle Notes & Highlights
Ah, life, which sometimes made reality into fantasy, also made fantasy into reality.
She was reluctant to leave this world; she loved the sun, loved the earth, loved work, loved the clear and bright Great Horse River, loved the grasses and wildflowers that grew on the riverbank . . . She couldn’t die! She should live! She wanted to work the land. There was something in the earth that could be found nowhere else.
Life was merciless to people like her, people who—if they didn’t hold firmly to their principles—would be endlessly confronted with these sorts of dilemmas. She had to make a choice! Life’s inherent tensions are omnipresent, like God: no one could escape them.
Was life playing a trick on him, or was he playing a joke on life? There was no way to tell.
