[Dialogue] Waxing Poetic

[Nancy Trask]

Thanks Evelyn - 
So nice to hear from you!

And I have now had 2 opportunities to be around your wonderful daughter this year -- in the spring at Paula's & again at the PJD in Denver.  She is a such a presence!

Nancy

  Dear Nancy, 

  This is also a quote which Jean Houston uses to begin her seminars back in the 80's and in her Possible Human book....  wonderful.
   
  Respectfully,

  Since we are waxing poetic in recent posts, here's a piece of poetry that 
  has rung in my ears since we heard it at the end of the Global Brain movie 
  some years ago.  It is from "A Sleep of Prisoners," a play by Christopher 
  Fry.

  "The human heart can go the length of God,
  Dark and cold we may be, but this is no winter now.
  The frozen misery of centuries cracks, breaks, begins to move.
  The thunder is the thunder of the floes, the thaw, the flood, the upstart 
  Spring.
  Thank God our time is now, when wrong comes up to meet us everywhere,
  Never to leave us, till we take
  The longest stride of soul men ever took.
  Affairs are now soul size,
  The enterprise is exploration into God.
  But where are you making for?
  It takes so many thousand years to wake,
  But will you wake for pity's sake?"

  I must share, too -- I had a chance to speak by phone with Joe Slicker this 
  evening & it was a meaning-filled conversation for me -- Joe said "every 
  moment is an opportunity for transformation."

  Amen.

  Best to all,
  Nancy Trask, Winterset, IA
