"The Madonna Secret" by Sophie Strand

Dear Sophie,

I was deeply moved and enlightened by your latest book. Your vivid and flowing prose brought the story to life, and it was clear that you had poured your heart and soul into your research. Your decision to travel to Israel and walk on those ancient paths was a testament to your dedication to your craft. Your love of this planet is palpable. The implications you have unfurled for understanding the true history of Christianity is enormous.



She has been recognized by the forest as one of its ancient guardians, now returned, graced with the quiet yet boundless capacity to heal, to shield the vulnerable, to be the sanctuary amidst the storm. Time itself has bowed to her essence, allowing moments of grace to unfold, where the innocent found refuge and solace in her burgeoning powers; a living testament to nature’s poetic symphony of nurturing and safeguarding its own, through a young woman reborn as a beacon of love and a sentinel of the living tapestry that embraced her.

Small Part

 The following is a small part of a story of my life that I'm writing for my children. Since the name of our group is Reading Writing and Arithmetic Club, Lance and I have discussed that it's appropriate to put writings here, so here's some writing. Just for fun.  It's a period of a couple of years during the 60' s.      Even though that first year in Berkeley wasn't easy for me, it was endlessly fascinating. That was Berkeley in the 60s. When I arrived on the scene, organized student protests were already underway, and about to intensify. The Free Speech Movement had begun in October of 1964 with a massive student sit-in at the administration building, Sproul Hall. The students took over the building and refused to leave. A lengthy standoff ended with the students being hauled out of the building and arrested in a huge police action. Afterwards there was a continuing police presence on campus.      This was the norm when I arrived. There were pro...

I Wonder What Happened to You

Stories, it's all about the stories in life. In the vein of Lacuna and Here I Go Again is my own snapshot of stories: I wonder what happened to you  You wrote poems for me,  You were going to take me to  The Rocky Horror Picture Show  We were going to dress up  Your eyes turned green or blue,  Depending on your mood  I wonder what happened to you  Your name like beer  You wrote songs and played guitar  And gave me a dragon ring  Told me not to lick stamps, because you cared  We’d drive the abandoned streets and  You’d stop at green lights   I wonder what happened to you  I loved the cool tattoo you drew yourself  We’d haunt coffee shops in the city  You made me a plastic ring   From the coffee stir stick  Said we were married  We were not  I wonder what happened to you  You’d quote me Shakespeare and   We dress up for the renaissance fair  You painted me pain...

Joy of life and math?

Dabbling in joy fever curious I am so forever young but just now plotting my lifeline x-axis anticipating the positive intercept knowing pain will sometimes overlap the y-axis of joy and wonder. the x-axis is fixed, the y-axis is not, forever sits at said intercept on the x-line the plot a mountain silhouette stretched along the flat x-plane, peaks were the second derivative is zero and none is the number to come.
