• Had Lótë known Marina's trail of thought, perhaps she might've shared the pain last year's fever had brought with it -- and the joy that had come with raising her children, even though their father had cast them all aside. "It is..." the doe began, only to trail off as she tried to think how best to word the village. "It is a spiritual place. The spirits talk. Moonwoman interprets and some of our children have become spirit-speakers themselves." "The village is a place of family and motherhood is quite special there." Here, the cloudberry smiled. "It is a place where traditions are passed down and kept sacred. A place where things of the heart often seem to be left unspoken but live in every action of every member."
