In Fond Remembrance of Me (2011)
“Calendar-wise it is difficult to recall just when Helen first introduced the subject of reincarnation into our conversations. I think it may have been the first week of October, a little more than a month after our first meeting.

We had walked out to Cape Merry, the rocky promontory at the mouth of the Churchill River. From this point ...you can scan the river, look out at old Fort Prince of Wales, or out over Hudson Bay itself. The tides are wild, the waters of sea and river commingle turbulently and, especially in summer, there’s an impressive exhibit of wildlife. In June, for instance, after the ice-break-up flotillas of ducks and loons drift in and out of the tides. Also, pods of seals and beluga whales arrive to feed on schools of the small fish called capelin. Squalling flocks of terns, gulls, and jaegers wheel above the whales and ride on icebergs and ice floes.MoreLess
