This extract if from 'The Leap' by Louise Erdrich.
Explanation:
It is about a blind mother who is surviving about half of the blindfold trapeze act, the Flying Avalons. The daughter says how she was saved by her mother thrice.
First she was saved when a tent pole cracked and fell on the town square. The father and mother gave her life. the other incident was when their house caught fire, her mother saved her.
The girl trusted her mother and was saved.
The swan is a metaphor of our soul, which is timeless and ancient. The speaker wants to know where the swan is going, what is wants and what is the purpose of life. He requests our soul to go with him in knowing that God is us and the answer to “Who Am I” which was written on the wind of God’s impulse to realize Himself that blew over His being in creation’s beginning. And to attach to God deliberately on the way to know Him is the joy of loving God, similar as a bee that will cultivate and finish our sorrows by ending desire. With that connection, there’s no doubt regarding God and that forever exists.
Someone who wishes or wants to appear evil to others.
