To Susan Edwards

You helped me navigate the rivers of the underworld 

When my life was falling apart

You gave me a ball of yarn to cross the labyrinth

You guided me insightfully and patiently through

the ancient Symplegades, the Crashing Rocks of destiny

So that I could reach the other shore.

When I faltered, you extended a helping hand

When I felt powerless, you empowered me

When I got stronger, you rejoiced with me.

Lady of wisdom and compassion,

I feel fortunate to have known you.

May the emptiness and luminosity of your mind

Guide you on your journey.



With love and gratitude, 
Leda Powers
