“Alma's Existence At Once Felt Bigger And Much, Much Smaller - But A Pleasant Sort Of Smaller. The World Had Scaled Itself Down Into Endless Inches Of Possibility. Her Life Could Be Lived In Generous Miniature ... She Would Probably Die Of Old Age Before She Understood Even Half Of What Was Occurring In This One Single Boulder Field. Well, Huzzah To That! It Meant That Alma Had Work Stretched Ahead Of Her For The Rest Of Her Life. She Need Not Be Idle. She Need Not Be Unhappy. Perhaps She Need Not Even Be Lonely. She Had A Task.”
