A Little Too Late
/What dreams can show us about our loved ones — and ourselves
“I told people that I wanted to celebrate my 40th birthday in a big way, but the truth was I was living a huge lie concerning my marriage. ”
When Mary Roberts went on a backpacking trip in New Mexico's Sangre de Cristo mountains, she was looking for an epiphany — a vision that would help her sort out her troubled marriage and pull her back into happiness.
What happened out in the wilderness wasn't at all what she'd expected or hoped. The "vision" she got (if that's what you'd call it) was as perplexing as it was disturbing, and it seemed to have nothing to do with the problems she was trying to solve.
But as she would come to learn, sometimes it's the most perplexing events that affect us most profoundly.
On this episode, Mary shares her story.
A version of this story was first told at a live storytelling event hosted by KUNC in Fort Collins, Colorado in 2017.
