[Oe List ...] Releasing Sandra

[E B]

Thank you Lynda for sharing this song. What a powerful tribute!
I've seen so many names mentioned in this list serve having gone on to the next beyond. I grieve for all of them but Sandra weigh more heavily in my heart because of who she was and what she was to me and our family. 

I will never forget how she nursed and Bob doctored our son back to good health after a burning accident at Kemper. Every time I kiss my son, I think of them. 

This song will help me release her on her new journey.

Dear  Colleagues  
 
A colleague 
onced shared with me that instead of focusing on the absence of a loved one, 
that we could focus on their presence in new ways.  Those were most helpful 
words to me in a time of loss, and that awareness has occasioned great little 
"spirit visits" with loved ones.
 
As we experience this time of releasing 
Sandra, I want to share a song  sent to me by colleague, Sarah Black 
Page, a folk singer, who was a youth in our Kansas City House back in 
the mid 70's.  
 
You may 
listen to the music in the attachment above and follow the words below.  

 
Peace,
 
Lynda 
Cock

      From Time to 
      Time 
      By Sarah

      (Chorus) 
      You are set loose to a 
      new becoming. 
      Free once more to live 
      anew. 
      On you go - I rejoice 
      for you 
      And wish you ease upon 
      your way. 
         
      From Time to 
      Time 
      The wind will tell me 
      your stories 
      From Time to 
      Time 
      The stream will 
      mention your name 
      Mist and rain, a whiff 
      of smoke 
      First light and 
      sunset 
      And there you’ll 
      be
Clear and dearly in my day. 
         
      (Repeat 
      Chorus) 
         
      What you’ll 
      become
I cannot guess not even fathom. 
      What I’ll 
      become 
      Is just as hidden from 
      my view 
      But on we’ll go – Time 
      and again 
      The Way leads on and 
      on 
      And I’ll watch for 
      you 
                  
      From Time to Time.

Greetings!!



  
  
    Greetings!

It pleases me more than I can say to know 
      that I have in some small way been part of someone's journey so far 
      away.  
 ...... 
   
 I  sort of have a MySpace page, though I 
      haven't done much with it - http://www.myspace.com/555775597

I 
      finally conceded and set up a Facebook account as well.  http://www.facebook.com/?ref=logo#!/profile.php?id=100001850016846

My 
      love to you and John.

Peace and 
  Love,
Sarah
