Touche' Dr. Kendra. I really do some art therapy so I can answer. I don't see how Sarah's work would be the missed info that brings us to proof regarding Dale though.

[dmax]

the point would be that she was expressing something about the mystic stuff in the area through her art, before she mysteriously disappeared.

the other hope was that kendra recognized her name as an inpatient there and linked her to dale, but it didn't happen

[Barbarellany]

Ah, but art therapy isn't her area. I wrote back and gave her first a standard reading of the drawing then suggested something other. See if she bites. I suggested she talk to someone else at Klepsydra as maybe someone else recognizes the work. I even asked if Dale did any drawings. We'll see.

My reply.

I got 2 today

[Barbarellany]

We have her attention

[dmax]

a little info about ego

[Barbarellany]

New mail from Michelle. Now I wonder if she reads too quickly as well and missed some of what I said, such as I don't think Dale belongs to a cult, or she is trying to steer me.

[dmax]

more from michelle

[Barbarellany]

And another. At least we know that Sarah did the tree on the Klep site. I only asked for similarities as dead eyes, amusement parks, etc. not diagnosis. I will try again.

In case...

Dale's Been Hyp-Mo-Tized

[Barbarellany]

Ok, she is referring to my email, 3 groups with last one seemingly benevolent. I didn't name the guides by name though. I hope to get some email from her soon and some real answers.
