She Didn't Do It and the Ferry

Cynthia Richards, MD, achild and adult psychiatrist,collaborates with others onthis journey, some in fostercare, incarcerated, labeled withautism, RAD, PTSD, severe andcomplex medical problems andother struggles of the humancondition. He suggested, look into themirror and find what changesmight placate the gods and make this journey a bit easier. Butthe mirror was theirs, the gods of mediocrity and the status quo!Loki certainly knew this was wrong. Loki, the god of change whocould wreak havoc, knew this would be a superficial ploy, at greatcost. Thoth, the Ibis, the moon god, the tongue and speech of Rawould go dead silent in her. Although the path might be smoother,she would lose herself. They could never embrace her but wouldstruggle to catalogue her to support their faltering edifice. So shethought melancholic extraordinaire, confided in Ibis of the crescentmoon and believed suffering had meaning. With her Ibis guide, booksand guitar, the music in her head, and the symphony of the spheresof the cosmos, she covered her cowlicks with her hat, often lookingback to find the elusive meaning to it all but never to placate the godsof mediocrity and the status quo. She was subversive in that way.
