Oh Kendra~
I got a call from the British hospital late last night about Sophie. She had gone on ?pilgrimage? to Lindisfarne?which she?d never told me about? I had no idea that her dream to walk to the Holy Island ?through the waters? to her sacred site meant crossing dangerous undertows of incredibly fast tides. I had no idea she planned to walk at night, by herself through the waters?it was a New Moon last night, and it must have been very dark. I still don?t know if she knew how many ?pilgrims? had died this way; people like her, who didn?t swim, and got caught in the undertow.
Was she risking all for God? Was she depressed? Manic? Suicidal or---?enraptured??
I?m leaving tomorrow?.they said she had a concussion and was barely conscious by the time someone found her and pulled her out of the water?she had lashed herself by her belt to a pole that wasn?t that far from the island.
I feel so ashamed. I never told you that my daughter, Sophie is a Christian fundamentalist; the ?only daughter of an astrologer??ah... I feel Sophie must feel ashamed of me. Why do these beliefs come between us? Why did she go there? Was she hoping to become more?..faithful?
Will write more when I find out what?s happened?.I?m off to England, to Lindisfarne, to the nearest little hospital in ?Berwick-on-Tweed?. I wonder if they contacted her father, Alistair too?I can?t imagine seeing him again after five years?.and meeting him this way.

Dear Isabelle~ I was touched by your willingness to get over the mask of the teacher--the ?persona mask? and so poignantly tell me the story about meeting up again with Alistair and Sophie?and your yearning to heal the splits among you. This photo of...

I?m reluctant to leave this place that is so embedded with Celtic Spirituality! I took one more solitary walk before leaving the island, and took a photo of a spiral stone-- it reminded me how the Celts experience the Divine as a tender force, not...

Dear Kendra~ I?m so sorry I dropped our writing correspondence when all this happened with Sophie. I suspect with your Moon in Cancer, squaring Pluto, you might be sensitive to anything that feels like abandonment or neglect. If I hadn?t finally...
