Recently we had a young girl leave Rain Rock to go home and finish her last year of high school. She asked me to write her a letter, and this is what I wrote.
My Friend,
You are embarking on a wonderful and dangerous journey. I know that you are aware of all the traps and pitfalls, so I will speak to you of the joys.
I have seen your amazing ability for friendship and connection. I believe that t his is your greatest tool in this battle. Strive for self reflection and inner peace, of course. But never isolation.
Acknowledge and appreciate your strengths, but do so without arrogance. See others with eyes that do not judge, and just so do not judge yourself. When you sway from your resolve do not be downtrodden. Know that this is a part of your journey. Take the experience; make peace with those you have wronged; learn something about yourself; precede without guilt.
And always, my friend, seek Truth, Virtue, Beauty, and Wisdom. Through these you will find fulfillment, through that epic search. Remember those who love and support you. We will always be here for you.

- The story of Her is a story of light, How it grew, how it faded, how She kept it alive. She felt and She saw, and was guided by light, She learned and She grew, and She followed Her sight. As a child She played games and shared what was Hers, She learned what was right, and to feel from Her heart. She sensed very strongly and followed Her light, But was sometimes too forward, oft Her manners did not mind. As a girl She was weighted with all the world's worries, She could not see through them and Her path was not clear. She yearned to help Allman, but found only darkness, and Her light quickly faded, with Her cares and the world's. As a woman She soon found Her own saving grace, In the light of Her soul which She nurtured and loved. And that light, as it grew, guided others to Her, As together they walked towards their own inner peace. Now She lives, and She loves, and She often is weary, For Her duties are great, and Her burden is heavy. But Her soul still shines forth, from the dark ocean depths, And She strives to help others find their light even so.
