This week's selection is from Catherine MacCoun's "On Becoming an Alchemist: A Guide for the Modern Magician".

"The notion of reincarnation implies that we need a do-over, that we don't get incarnation right on the first try. Part of us dives boldly into earthly existence while another part recoils from the brink, as if to say, 'You want me to do what?' The one who dives is called the soul."

Here's this week's Teaser:

From Catherine MacCoun's "The Age of Miracles."

"The first snow of the winter weighted the clouds and made the town quiet. Though it was still midafternoon, lamps burned in the shops and houses. Night would be falling even before the church bells rang vespers. The heads of his children, like gay gallant flames, made people smile as they passed."

(I prefer to add 4 lines. Makes things more interesting!)

Your turn!
