Queen Elizabeth II is mourned around the world. The world saw stages of life live in and through her: from maiden to mate, mother to matriarch, elder to aged. She inherited her title but grew into her role, becoming a unifying image of virtue, service, stateliness, and constancy–wrapped in dedication and devotion. Above the skirmishes of ego-driven politics, the Queen balanced the mystique of majesty with human presence. She bore difficulties and disappointment with dignity, and in the 70 years of her reign modeled a standard of nobility that enabled her to preside over tumult and change. Elizabeth II first governed herself, enabling authentic representation of the archetype of queen in its beneficent aspect: steadfast, valiant, and faithful to enduring ideals of sovereignty. Queen Elizabeth II fulfilled the promise of the crown, ancient symbol of exalted life, conferring its possibility and promise upon subjects and admirers worldwide.
In Memoriam:
Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and of

Here’s the dream we analyze:
“I am in the passenger’s seat in a car with my partner. He is driving and seems anxious about something–talking and gesturing, but I can’t remember what he said. We are going uphill on a tarred road–it is an unfamiliar setting. Suddenly a bird flies into his side window. He quickly opens the window and shuts it close again, tearing one wing off the bird. I am shouting at him “You have broken its wing,” as we watch the bird fly away with only one wing. My partner is startled, and I am very sad and shocked. I am awakened by this shocked feeling. “

This is absolutely my favorite episode TJL has done. Perhaps because QE2 was such a remarkable person and until this September a living embodiment of myth, your connections resonated with me. Thank you for providing a most unique and thought-provoking tribute to a most unique woman.
