Jessie has always been a
pilgrim. It's just that directions have
not always been so clear. At first she
thought the destination lay in society's council.style='mso-spacerun:yes'> Her dresses must be ever clean, her manners
strictly controlled. But even with the
best of intentions, a road that narrow cannot contain the romanticism of youth,
the pain of a mother's love, the restlessness of a creative mind and the
ultimate longing for something a bit deeper.
Meet a woman striving for
spirituality in a world of laundry and bills, where grief and heartache drop in
unannounced and society's myth of perfection shatters under the stress of

husband and children moved to
in 1962.
She began the study of
metaphysics in her youth and has since continued to explore the works of
transcendentalists and mystics of various faiths throughout the ages. Her writings reflect the experiences of a
woman attempting to apply such written wisdom to ordinary life as an
encouragement to others to continue the spiritual search no matter how often
they appear to fail.
