"If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of
the oppressor."
~ Desmund Tutu.

Without compassion, what hope?    Q: Is there any cause for optimism?  A:
Well, personally, yeah. Everybody's got a life to lead and they've got a
bodhisattva tendency, everybody wants to do good, so I just think on a
personal level, yeah. On a larger scale, there doesn't seem to be any hope
unless compassion becomes a more widespread important teaching on how to
live. Compassion to self and others.-Allen Ginsberg, from "Spontaneous
Intelligence: An Interview with Allen Ginsberg," Tricycle, Fall 1995

There are those who do not realize

that one day we all must die.

But those who do realize this

settle their quarrels.

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 Page

 

(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.



Sarah is the daughter of our late colleagues Virginia and George Black from
Nebraska, who served in Chicago and in Kenya, and Peru. Sarah attended
Academy and was in Montreal and St. Louis houses.  Sarah's brother Chris
Black was in the Milwaukee House where he met and married Debbie Jaecks.
Chris died at a young 44 from a heart attack. Sarah and Debbie know full
well the experience of letting go.

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 -
