Drifting, floating, swirling like vapor rising, the mist parted and I saw the empty pot over the fire. Jay pulled my hand back and rested the pot on the brick fireplace. I was too stunned to speak. To see your own life vaporize before you that way, to see your own children struggling with the choices made, even though they didn’t understand them, took my breath away.

“It felt real. Like I was right there. Every bit of it.”

“You have beautiful children,” Jay said.

“You saw it too. How?”

“I can only observe, but the one holding the handle controls the experience. Those were your memories. It was your life.”

“But I didn’t experience some of it. I didn’t know what my children said. I didn’t know my husband had written anything down in that notebook.”

He nodded. “The answers to the questions you now have will surface from the snow.”

“What do you mean?”

“The hope you have for your marriage will lead you forward. The snow will show you the truth. Your mind will guide you from one memory to the next. The questions you have now, the observations you made, and frankly, your openness, all combine to lead you to what you’re really seeking.”

“But I told you, we’ve made up our minds. It’s over.”

“Yes, but you also said you would give my hope for you a chance. The images spring from a desire for change.”

I looked at the warm pot on the hearth and the two that awaited me. “I want to check the phone. Try to call the children.”

“That’s fine,” Jay said.

“I don’t think I can go any further,” I said as I reached the hall. “It’s too painful … too much emotion.”

“I know. But part of you wants to know more. Part of you wants to hope.”
