Lo, in stone, child. Lo, in stone.

“There is the Arab who only wants to do business. He works hard and honors his god with his labor. Then there is the lazy Arab, who does little to better his life and blames the world for his troubles. To the first Arab, the Koran is a guide to a better life. To the second, it is a haven for his failures, that excuses his every fault and provides comfort for his hatred. And believe me, there are many more of the latter than the former.”

“The fire on the mountain.” That was Anna. “Alchemy,” she said. “I feel it singing in my bones.”
“Singing?” Mary would never understand Anna. The young woman turned away.
Wiseman’s reply was tinged with respect.
“That great pair of alchemists, Francis Ransome and Roberta Le More, believed the work they did affected the world’s spirit, the anima mundi. The Native Americans they met believed they too could and should interact with the Great Spirit. They lived with reverence for the land and all its peoples, the ancestors, the animals, the rocks, the trees, mountains.”
Mary’s jaw dropped; Caroline glowed; Anna pretended not to listen. Wiseman nodded, then continued.
“You mean…?” began Mary.
“Yes, it could have been so different, a meeting of like-minded earth-based spiritualities. Just imagine, what could have been?”
