There are unique moments in life when everything we have clung to as truth and our understanding of ourselves suddenly shifts. When we leave home for the first time, marry, become a parent, begin a career pursuit or shed that pursuit; when we begin to recover memories of a painful past, divorce; when we need to survive alone or adjust to a different lifestyle; aging and its attending losses; each one of these “passages” beckons us to explore and grow. At these chaotic and emotionally charged times the soul too is longing to be engaged. Its place on the voyage needs to be honored. I see myself as guide and interpreter, providing an umbrella for the journey and offering a symbolic context for its meaning.
