In 1999 she asked if I would create a ritual of Queenship for her, of sovereignty over her own life. Only a few days ago I came across the book I wrote for the occasion, the order of service. In part I used the myth of Inanna… I had forgotten just how richly I had made it.

In rereading it for the first time in many, many years, I had to ask if I chose the right path after all. “But there was a war” — is the old reason given for why I turned away from this particular path in 2002. “There will always be wars and rumors of wars,” came the response from my subconscious this time. And so it has been. I have to ask, now, whether I was like an artist who laid down her brush and canvas to become merely a Sunday painter.

Again, I thank you all for sitting with me last night, and today. My love to you. ❤️
