I enjoyed the "Meet the Author" book signing in Cape Coral, FL yesterday. My eyes were closed in all my photos, but I promise I was awake! Joy!

This Anhinga bird is my new familiar. She dries her wings in my backyard. "Anhinga" means "devil-snake bird." She swims with her neck out of the water and looks just like a snake swimming toward you.

Statue of St. Sebastian under the altar of his church in Rome. Cecilia's cell in the catacombs lay directly beneath it.

"In mysticism, that love of truth which we saw as the beginning of all philosophy leaves the merely intellectual sphere, and takes on the assured aspect of a personal passion." Evelyn Underhill.
