Phish girl evades hook
Well all be darned. An old friend and long time neighbor (now moved away) was interviewed & photographed by The New York Times, Chris Hedges & James Estrin about her healthy diet of Phish before their hiatus. The story can be found here: A Quest for Rapture Leads a 'Phish Head' Astray.
Beth was and has always been a true friend and a great guide to the new and/or unexperienced. In this article she explains that lyrics and music often collide in confusion and how a "cultish" movement can be torn by contradiction like a nomad needing a vacation. Beth suggests that you are told, "One must go with the flow yet fight evil. It does not always make sense." - exactly!
In her experience she reflects upon the fact that answers are not found in the leaders, but in the hunt. Taken directly from The New York Times article: "I would not be who I am today if I had not done this," Ms. Senturia said. "But I know now I am not going to find what I am looking for in parking lots in other cities. I will find what I am looking for only within myself. It is easier to get in a car and think that the next show will give you fulfillment. It is harder to sit in one place and confront life." Have fun at the reunion Beth!
