[Oe List ...] Pedagogue list of last 20 years

[LAURELCG at aol.com]

I wanted to bring back this list. Hope my editing  attempt didn't delete 
anything vital to its meaning. Here's  mine.
I have to go back a little further to the 80's when the  12 Steps of A.A. 
saved me and my family.
Matthew Fox led me to the Four Paths of Creation  Spirituality: Positiva, 
Negativa, Creativa, Transformativa.
Starhawk on Feminist Thealogy, took me  beyond the church's stance of 
female as less than fully  human
Rosalyn Bruyere on energy healing
Thomas Berry and Bryan Swimme on the Universe Story and  our moment in it
Ann LaMott on writing and the importance of  humor
Barbara Kingsolver - myriad gifts
Barack Obama - all is possible
Richard Bartlett - importance of hallucinating the  possible - it's all 
possible
 
Thanks for asking.
Blessings, dear colleagues,
Jann McGuire
 
This is interesting, perhaps add, what image did they help puncture  or 
shape?
Robert Bly -- gave me back poetry
Nikos Kazantzakis -- I  keep coming back to Saviors of God -- reminds me of 
the awesome  journey
Rianne Eisler -- living in a post patriarchal time . .  .
Vaclav Havel -- meaning can shape political realities
