Dear Ruth — I am an Episcopal priest from California who, too, is touched by Hildegarde/ I am blessed to travel to England every August for the last and next few years as I am working on a dissertation at Oxford regarding the Soul. Hildegarde, thus, is a kindred spirit. Thank you for this blog and the insight. Blessings & pax — Rev. Lisa
