For my favorite artist Audrey Skott:

I miss you, Mom.

And to the many Gods and Goddesses she painted for me:
Pallas Athena, Delphic Apollo, Artemis, Aphrodite, Demeter, Hekate,
Hestia, and Hera of the Golden Throne.

Thank you, Athena, for finding that lost little boy in the library
so many years ago and teaching him the language of symbols and myth.
