Once, wandering out into the grove adjoining her family’s farm, she finally knelt and asked of God’s mercy. Perhaps she was not surprised when a brilliant light appeared before her. The interior area of the light, she saw at once, was inhabited by Tereshkova, standing above her in the air. The God had arrived, at least her God to be specific. She closed her eyes somewhat reluctantly assuming that she might be day dreaming, but again she opened her eyes only to find the sparkling bright shape which had by now steadied itself in front of her. She was now startled and bit amused too. She was not confident of herself at least due to her present state of mind.
