Linda, this is a great piece. I love the description of the house you lived in by the Etruscan tombs. What a wonderful, inspiring place. Thanks for your beautiful work. Teresa

This is an excellent and thought-provoking essay. You also cite one of my favorite thinkers/dreamers, Gaston Bachelard.

I also thought of Eliade’s idea of “sacred space” (and time) and how our mythologies resonate both across cultures and trans subjectively in our own dreams and daydreams (or directed daydreams).

Now that I now use Kindle Reader more as my NYC apt overflows with books and I am in retirement, I have added your novel to my library.

Thank you so much for sharing as you do so generously!
