Dear Shirley:

Congratulations for having googles work for you.

I read Into the Wild myself, a few years ago. I liked it, feeling the isolation. Like Andrew said, McCandless was unprepared, but you got to admire the spirit, as Dave and you do. I agree with you, what he did was radical (and deadly).

Your dream was amazing, very elaborate: bridges, a sparkling river and a fork in the road… buddha and angels, white wings, light, blue sky and clouds, a blue heart necklace and ribbon. Even your special friend and Dave and Andrew were in the dream. You had a Phoenix body.. and you were reborn. My goodness, all one dream?

Thank you for the good wishes in the part about the star. I still and always have the poem you wrote me, about me being a star. It reminds me of my favorite writing in Romeo and Juliet. i will share it with you:

Give me my Romeo; and, when he shall die,
Take him and cut him out in little stars,
And he will make the face of heaven so fine
That all the world will be in love with night

This is my favorite Shakespearean love quote.

Thank you, Shirley, for sharing all you did above. I am glad the angel told you that you are not alone, that he will be there with you the whole way. Regarding your spiritual journal you mentioned at the beginning, it may be a good idea as a reminder for you to meditate daily but I hope it won’t be too much recording your thoughts and experiences throughout the day…?

Have a good Tuesday!
