I just sent off an impassioned email to Ariadne's address, hoping she will read it. (Read the latest blogs written by Ariadne to see what I am talking about: Ariadne is MIA by her own choice).
I took more of a Chariton/Dikaiosune route than my primary strength of Sophia, because I felt it was more appropriate (and a recent Sophia email didn't really help). I shared some things about myself that I wouldn't really call "personal", but it is a parallel between her situation and my own. I thought this personal connection would help her. My main point was not "synchronization doesn't kill"; it was a plea for more open communication so that we can accurately assess what she saw. I fear she is caught up in her own emotions and viewpoint and thinking the worst, so I asked her to explain what she meant by "I'm different than the other allies" and "By seeing I killed them." because I have a hunch that she only thinks she is different and only thinks she killed them because of a sort of victim's fallacy (that everything is her fault). I also shared a quote from LotR:FotR the movie because I thought it was perfectly applicable to her situation (and ironically the movie also involves mysterious rings). It is what Gandalf says to Frodo after he says he wishes the ring had never come to him: "So do all who see such times. But that is not for us to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that we are given." I asked her what she was going to do with the time she has been given. ;-)
Hopefully this will snap her out of whatever funk she's in!
