[Dialogue] Killing Wilbur's Abstractions

Darrell,

Thank-you.

I'm practicing this:

Notes from a 44 hour weekend, the one when Sandra True died.
44 hours of siting in front of a wall, sharing silent meals, ringing ritual
bells, doing work and sleeping.

It is the nearest experience I've had to the time at the Minneapolis House
at 3a, the hour of 'None"  while scrubbing my gravestone in the garage.

Two of Mpls's finest banged on the door and wanted to know if who was
carried out of the house in a wheel chair and a sheet [Bob Saint Clair] in
a spirit odyssey. Mary Woodbury opened the door, pointed at Bob in his
sheet and wheel chair, also scrubbing his gravestone. She tried to explain:
"Officer, we are a religious community trying to figure out what it was
like to be a religious community in the middle ages". There was a long
silence. Then one of the Officers finally said: "Well, what's it like?".
Everyone giggled as quietly as possible.

Sandra and Bob weren't there that weekend, but they were shortly afterward
maybe the next weekend. We were all laughter about that particular Q&A for
years in Minneapolis.

More laughter, sharing and a playful spirit I think before heading for the
woods.

Blessings on you for creating a new relationship.

I still don't get Wilbur's abstractions and I don't think I'll try.
These days simple is a good.

Steve
