[Oe List ...] Fw: Sandra's Transition

[Herman Greene]

When I should feel so sad,

Why does my heart feel glad?

Why does my soul feel so happy and gay?

For all 'round me burdens fall,

Yet I'm not worried at all

For if I pray, 

King Jesus will roll all burdens away

 

All away, all away,

King Jesus will roll all burdens away

If to him I pray.

For he opens doors for me,

Doors I'm unable to see;

That's why I say

King Jesus will roll

All burdens away

My dear friends,

 

I am filled with awe and the sense that this is a holy time.  Sandra has
been one of those who have called into new life the Valley of Dry Bones that
was this order and this movement.  Many of you have sent quotes and poems to
be read to her as she rests.  These are so wonderful that I wanted to keep
them.  I started to create a new folder to put them in - then I spied a
folder titled "Emerging Order" which contained previous discussions about
the emerging shape of the Order.  Oh, yes, that's where these thoughts for
Sandra belong.  She will be emerging into new life, and because of her, new
life is left behind.

 

I sent this earlier today to LiDona, for Sandra and those who watch with
her, in love.

 

    Deep peace of the running wave to you,  

    Of water flowing, rising and falling,  

    May the stream of your life's journey flow unimpeded.

 

    Deep peace of the shining stars to you,  

    Which stay invisible till darkness falls,  

    And discloses their pure and shining presence  

    Beaming down in compassion on our turning world.

 

    Deep peace of the quiet earth to you,  

    And of the Son of Peace

    Who breathes into us His Peace and His Spirit,

    Deep, deep peace.    

                                                            Adapted from a
Gaelic Blessing

Vigil Keepers,

 

Yesterday Sandra began a rapid decline. Bob has asked that we shift our
prayers to aiding her transition to becoming pure spirit. He has asked for
"short prayers, short poems, and words helpful to say aloud to her as she
rests."

 

If you will send these to me I will compile them and send them to Bob. Bob
and Rebecca Nichols are with Sandra now.

 

The paragraph below was sent by Jean Smith, I have attached her full
reflection.

 

We are connected

John Muir said, "When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it
hitched to everything else

in the universe." And many others have said likewise. As we take our turn in
the vigil circle for

Sandra, it is clear that we are connected personally to her, and she to us.
The energy we send

goes not only to Sandra but to each of us, and in turn by extension to the
network of

relationships we all have.

 

The paragraph above was sent by Jean Smith, I have attached her full
reflection.

Blessings,

LiDona
