The Rock Child
“I was worried about Sun Moon, riding long after what happened to her. Daniel and I told her we could rest a day. She said, “I want get away from this place.”
Besides, Sir Richard was to join us at Truckee River. That was Q Mark’s other news.
We rode.
You may not think it matters, losing a child who hasn’t come into life yet. A mis-carriage, we call it, meaning things just went wrong. We don’t say tragedy. We don’t even say dead.
It mattered to Sun Moon. Regardless, it just did. She explained it... to me later this way: In the Buddhist way of seeing things, our child was a soul coming once more into the cycle of life and death, for one of the incarnations that go on until the soul is no longer so attached to human life. Not being attached, that’s good, it’s enlightenment. If our child didn’t come in, maybe it wasn’t so attached.
But Sun Moon thought maybe our child was attached, was seeking a human life, a higher incarnation. And it was murdered by Porter Rockwell. A human incarnation ended by violence, that is a terrible thing.MoreLess
