[Oe List ...] OE Digest, Vol 81, Issue 51

[Debra Harris-Watson]

For Sandra,
You have always been a beacon of light. You have a full heart and a joyful, deep 
abiding soul . You gave optimistic encouragement:
for the Order in diaspora, and what the Order (in a broad sense)  may evolve 
into as humanity faces the complexities of this next century
You are crossing the veil and joining those who have passed,  who continue to 
give guidance, who continue to journey, 

who continue to explore the great Mystery. 

Let your love flow outward through the universe,
To its height, its depth, its broad extent,
A limitless love, without hatred or enmity.
Then as you stand or walk, sit or lie down,
As long as you are awake,
Strive for this with one-pointedness;
Your life will bring heaven to earth.         
  - Sutta Nipata

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
    
    Janice Ulangca

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
