Patricia – Goddess -scholar, women’s spirituality pioneer, poet and author – took a chance on me & my dissertation (which she called “groundbreaking”). She mentored me into publishing for the first time (and 2nd time & 3rd time). She gave me the coveted role of straw-boy at her wedding, invited me to share her home and holidays and loved my husband and dog.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Patricia shared my mission to overthrow the Patriarchy and bring credibility to the first-person research voice. \u00a0She knew that ritual and writing are the most powerful forms of magic. \u00a0I am heartbroken. I will carry on the work of Goddess scholar in her honor. Brigit grant her safe passage. Brigit comfort Michael. Brigit help us all. So mote it be.<\/p>\n

Dirge without Music
\nby Edna St. Vincent Millay<\/p>\n

I am not resigned to the shutting away of loving hearts in the hard ground.
\nSo it is, and so it will be, for so it has been, time out of mind:
\nInto the darkness they go, the wise and the lovely. Crowned
\nWith lilies and with laurel they go; but I am not resigned.<\/p>\n

Lovers and thinkers, into the earth with you.
\nBe one with the dull, the indiscriminate dust.
\nA fragment of what you felt, of what you knew,
\nA formula, a phrase remains, — but the best is lost.<\/p>\n

The answers quick & keen, the honest look, the laughter, the love,
\nThey are gone. They have gone to feed the roses. Elegant and curled
\nIs the blossom. Fragrant is the blossom. I know. But I do not approve.
\nMore precious was the light in your eyes than all the roses in the world.<\/p>\n

Down, down, down into the darkness of the grave
\nGently they go, the beautiful, the tender, the kind;
\nQuietly they go, the intelligent, the witty, the brave.
\nI know. But I do not approve. And I am not resigned.<\/p>\n
