[Dialogue] [Oe List ...] In Memorium ~ A Prayer for the Journey

[marilyncrocker]

Dear Ellie,

As always, your gift with poetic language, like your gift with original
pieces of music (and I would guess your gifts in your current ministry)
are profound and one of a kind -- as we used to say "unique and
unrepeatable".

This prayer couldn't have come at a better time.  Joe and I have finally
gotten serious about "spelling out our wishes for end times" (which we
now realize could be tomorrow or 20 years from now) and have scheduled a
workshop on creating our memorial services, obituaries, etc.  It no
longer seems like a morbid activity, but more a way of taking
responsibility on behalf of.  I have already decided I want your prayer
as part of my final celebration.

Thank you, dear colleague on the journey,

Grace, peace and love,

Marilyn

Dear Listserve Friends and Colleagues ~
 
Over the years we have said many goodbyes to Spirit Colleagues who have
died on the march--some of whom we knew well and for many years, some
with whom we have worked, some whom we have only seen across a crowded
Great Hall, some whom we have never met personally but know as one linked
arm and arm, heart and heart as part of the Order, Ecumenical Institute,
ICA and/or larger Spirit Movement, some we have come to know through this
listserve. 
 
Words are often hard to come by at the time of the announcement of death.
 So belatedly for some and timely for others, attached is a prayer
written with thoughts of and in memorium of those to whom we have said
good-bye and in presence with loved ones and all who mourn their loss and
celebrate the gift of their lives.
 
Grace and peace,
Ellie Stock
