The race Between the Eternities begins before we take our first breath; it matches us against a relentless and undefeatable opponent, death. This competitor never tires nor is distracted in its pursuit of us, and the race continues until we or someone else closes our eyes for us after we draw our last breath. Between the Eternities is based on facts chronicled about the journey along this racetrack by my mother.
The emotional roller-coaster ride of our characters exposes the reader to elements of despair and hopelessness when we discover the method death chose for the demise of one of the main characters. Humor is displayed when we see the heroine make her final drive into town or when we read of the small green snake that emptied the fishing boat. Love is exhibited throughout our words, as each character strives to lighten the heavy burden pending death has placed on the other cast. Hope too is a recurring member of the troupe. It appears at various times and roles only to be destroyed by death. But hope, not fear and sorrow, in the final act overcomes death to become the savior of the ones left to carry on the business of the next race! In these future races, the race of all life is leveraged to last only so long before all chips must be turned in for the final accounting. Since we cannot be victorious in this race with death, how does one keep score? On the final scorecard, only how we have run the race matters at all. Therefore, the true measure of our life is based on the choices and decisions we make as we run the course to its inevitable conclusion.
