Psyche’s Song*
I lit the Lamp of
Insight
I saw the God in
you
A Spark – a sparkling Star
Beneath your hooded Eye
In Fear you spread your Wings
Taking to the Sky –
Now I wander and I wonder
In Anguish and Despair –
Each Breath a mournful Cry
Are you gone forever?
Will you let me die?
Or will you save me, Love,
From my riven Soul
And the existential Lie?
*Eros, the winged god of love, deserts Psyche, his lover,
when she looks upon him in the night. She has been forbidden to do so.
Therefore, he flies back to his mother, Aphrodite, goddess of love, who resents Psyche's relationship with her son. Psyche and
Eros symbolize the inner feminine and masculine aspects of soul and
consciousness which must be reconciled before psychological wholeness is
achieved.

Evelyn J. Fields
Evelyn Juanita Fields was born in Norfolk, Virginia on 29 January 1949, the oldest of five children. She attended Liberty Park Elementary School and Booker T. Washington High School. Fields graduated from Norfolk State University in 1971 with a degree in mathematics.
Career
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
Fields began her career with NOAA in 1972 as a civilian cartographer at NOAA's Atlantic Marine Center in Norfolk, Virginia. She was commissioned an ensign in the NOAA Corps in 1973, shortly after NOAA began recruiting women, and was the first African-American woman to join the Corps. She was selected for and attended the Armed Forces Staff College. In the field of hydro-graphy, she spent time on an oceanographic and fisheries research vessel. This experience turned out to be what she considered to be one of the highlights of her career as an NOAA Corps officer.
In 1989, Fields was chosen by NOAA's Selection Board to serve as commanding officer of the NOAA ship, McArthur, an oceanographic and fisheries research vessel based in Seattle, Washington. Commanding a ship is an important step along the career path of an officer, but never before in NOAA had a woman been chosen for this responsibility. Fields was the first female officer to command a NOAA ship and the first African-American woman to command a ship for an extended period within the nation’s uniformed services. She was director of the Commissioned Personnel Center (CPC), which is responsible for all aspects of a uniformed service personnel system in support of the NOAA Corps officers.
During her twenty-five years of commissioned service, RADM Fields has served in a variety of billets, both staff and operational. She has served on the ships Mt. Mitchell and Pierce as operations officer, and Rainier as executive officer. Deployments have included both the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean, and Alaskan waters. Her sea experience covers hydro-graphic survey operations, fisheries research, and oceanographic research. Because of her demonstrated expertise and professionalism, she was the second U.S. Exchange Hydro-grapher with Canada. After the exchange program, she was responsible for reviewing, critiquing, and determining whether the hydro-graphic survey data submitted by Atlantic Marine Center field units was complete and adequate for final acceptance into the processing system.
Afterward, as assignment coordinator for the Office of NOAA Corps Operations, she worked with all program areas of NOAA, providing sound advice to both programs and officers regarding officer assignments. Rear Admiral Fields retired 1 December 2003.*

Kin 122: White Overtone Wind
I empower in order to communicate
Commanding breath
I seal the input of spirit
With the overtone tone of radiance
I am guided by the power of heart.
The evolutionary unfolding that we refer to as mind, is an intermediate term or medium of learning.*
