[Oe List ...] Loss of a Great Global Colleague

[James Wiegel]

Does anyone have a copy of Happy Death by Albert Camus?  There is a quote in it we used that I have associated with Jon -- it starts, "I would be the experiment of my life . . ."

Some stories don’t have a clear beginning, middle and end.  Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what’s going to happen next.  Delicious ambiguity.  Gilda Radner

Lela,
 
Thanks for letting us know of Jon’s passing. What a shock. My condolences
to Maureen and Michael and all of Jon’s colleagues. He was, indeed, a great
Spirit man.

It is with the saddest of
hearts I regret to inform my colleagues of the sudden unexpected death of Jon
Jenkins. 
I received a telephone call a
couple hours ago from Maureen, who is visiting family in Boston this week,
advising that she had just learned the tragic news that Jon died at their home
in the Netherlands, apparently from natural causes. Maureen will be flying back
to the Netherlands tomorrow with her son Michael.
For those of you who have not
seen Jon in many years or perhaps knew of his work but had never met him, here
is a picture of Jon and his bio from their website. http://www.9disciplines.com/imaginal/index1.php?id=141 
Don and I had the great
pleasure of spending last Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with Jon, Maureen and
their son Jean Paul in San Francisco. 
Jon was a great Spirit Man. He
had traveled the world for over 40 years enabling other people in many walks of
life to experience what it meant to be on the Journey. He will be greatly
missed.
Grace and Peace,
Lela Jahn
