JEDUF,

flections of a pavement Plato:
On Memorial Day our buried
dead come to life again in final
pastures that bloom with flags and
llowers.
They live and walk and talk
again as they did in days before,
and earth is bright again with
their remembered presence. We
see them once more in our hearts
as we knew them in their mortal
prime.
But Memorial Day differs from
all our other holidays, because it
holds so many varying meanings.
To a child it is only a day off
from school, and a feeling of be-
wilderment and awe. The strange
tup to the cemetery, the subdued
conversation of the grownups about
pople he has never known—these
things confuse him. He is too new
to the mystery of life to have even
a .roping realization of the mys-

"I thought not. Your thoughts

“Are you a mind reader, young

He laughed. "I have been mak-

train th illusion. The truth was
lost in imagery. She had fallen in
love with the real Eric and out of
love with the travesty she had cre-
atec. Or was it the reverse? Which
was the real Eric? I don’t know,
she thought I simply do not know.
And the knowledge that she might
never know, for sure, filled her
with a nameless illusory sadness.
But it was sorrow without regret.
For she did not feel the same
about Eric as she had. All the glow
had taded—was forever gone.
She turned around and faced
Scott. "I am ready, too," she said.
Tears sprang into her eyes. “Fun-
ny, isn’t it?"
When we are alone, she thought,
I wil ask him to kiss me. Not one
of those careful pecks he has been
giving me for weeks. A real kiss.
A dizzying and entirely unexpected
rush of warmth flooded her whole
body. It was as if she had sudden-
ly stepped into the fiercest sun-
light. She waited, her hand on her
heart. And ... yes. The windy
nigh place, the rush ot wings, the
lifting upward surge.
“Hey," said Scott, bending down
ana peering at her. "Do you feel
all right? You look—strange."
"I am fine," she said. A smile
was starting in her eyes, deep and
secret. “I feel wonderful.”
Merry-o swooshed by them,
clutching Omar in her arms.
“Here they come,” she shouted.
“Scott, Landon—" She dashed
back, dropped Omar, seized Lan-
don s hand. Didn’t you hear me,
Landon? Mommy is home!"
For a moment Landon could not
believe that the small hot hand in
hers was Merry-o's. To be held off
all this time, and now . . . She
could not quite believe it, but she
was grateful, and humble. Your
whole world, she thought. Your
whole world, Maggie darling. Just
the way you left it. Sweet and
safe and true.
Scott had hold of her other hand
as they ran, the three of them to-
gether, and opened the door wide
for Maggie.
