THE REAL WORLD
I SUPPOSE I was asleep—at least I was in bed. And then it seemed that my husband and I were moving through the air. It was dark and I could see nothing at all; I could not even see him, but I was conscious of his presence near me. Presently a opening appeared in the darkness, and through a cloud had gently moved away from in front of us, and I looked through the opening into a land that I cannot describe, for I have not the words to express exactly what I beheld there.
