More of the Pale and Raven Legends

It all started on a night much like tonight's, a day and a season only a duck could love. You think that the story is done when the period is put down, and room is made for telling it.

The one, the many

"If you pick up that stick you will become part of it, and it a part of you."

"Like marriage."

"Of a sort, yes that's a good way of looking at it."

"Couldn't it just be a stick that I like? The look of it suits me, makes me stand a little more steady or feels good in my hand."

"That's a good place to start a relationship with a stick. But as I said, once you start to walk with it your bones with come to know the bone of the Tree that is that stick. You are entering a life with the many ... Tree has memory most humans don't remember how to find. The stick that finds you has something to pass along. Over time you will share those lines in your hand or hands with Tree. You will change."

"Like marriage." *



*"Marry your field" from Robert Moss, The Dream Man ... field notes that make marks for me to find as the medicine of story moves, stalls, and prepares for the next flow of MoltenMadam.
