I don't think my hero has a religion--I don't think he's a Christian--he's certainly non-conformist and his family

made their fortune in South Asia-- a very famous family with a castle --some relationship to Clive of India, but he changed his surname--

he was ashamed of the East India Co. connection--

he's spent time in Hindu ashrams, and Buddhist monasteries in Tibet.

Since I created him out of my left foot, if not my rib, he is more like me than I am myself.

Like all the "people" I create in words or images (paintings mostly) he will reveal himself to me bit by bit.

I've painted him as a wood sprite looking at her while she dreams her book.
