John Dotson has been widely involved in the Monterey Bay poetry community since locating here in 1974. John Wrote the following regarding Carolyn’s upcoming book, “Psyche of Mirrors; A Promenade of Portraits.”
My soul, my soul, where are you? Do you hear me? I speak, I call you–are you there? I have returned, I am here again. I have shaken the dust of all the lands from my feet, and I have come to you, I am with you. After long years of long wandering, I have come to you again… My soul, my journey should continue with you. I will wander with you and ascend to my solitude.
– Carl Jung (1913)
Any one of us, born into whatever life situation is given, may arrive, as Jung did, at a quest for reconciliation with one’s very own soul. That’s what I feel Carolyn is offering in these texts spanning so many relationships, strivings, aspirations, inspirations–phases of her ascent to solitude.
