Thank you for posting this excerpt on Therese Schroeder-Sheker! Her sounds of music have been an inspiration to me for many years. She is also an inspiration behind my poetry and when I seek tranquility. Thank you again for sharing this beautiful excerpt!

A truly mesmerizing interview, thank you. Ordered her monograph "Transitus" a few months ago and cannot put it down--even the acknowledgement section at the beginning rings with power and beauty.
