Your phrase, "every place has its own genius, and it is the work of the artist to bring this secret into the light," inspires me. Thank you.

I was an English Major at a snobby college. Now that I look back, it really gave me very little. Perhaps four years in a beautiful nature environment. A bit of finding myself and my talent for writing. No real way to make a living! Not even a teaching degree (the snobs)!

The best thing about it was spending my junior year in Israel and discovering my Jewish heritage. Now I am a fully observant Jew, a grandmother of a whole slew of observant Jewish children and grandchildren. (I also read Chaim Potok s a child and never realized that I , too, was a member of that tribe, with all of its glorious customs and its way of life).

I hope you didn’t give up that part of yourself. It’s the best part of yourself. The Torah Jew.
