[Oe List ...] reflections of Songaia - 10 years and more

[Janice Ulangca]

Nancy,

Thank you for opening the windows for us - to Songaia, and to your own heart.  The Simple Gifts song is wonderful, and I love your suggested last line.  

On Monday evening I plan to share the song at a celebration for a graduating Binghamton University senior who has been part of a Compassionate Communication group since January.  

Another person and I have the assignment of doing research on intentional communities (New Monasticism movement) for a Covenant Group in my church - which would like to host a live-in community to serve the low-income neighborhood around First United Methodist Church, Endicott, NY.  The church already does serve in many ways.  We are just getting started on our task - know of some UM Church-related communities.  But the length and depth of Songaia's experience is unique - and we may want to talk with you about it later.

Thank you for enriching our life here!

Janice Ulangca

  Greetings to all, 

  My spinnings of this beautiful morning "as I sit here looking out of my window" at the beauty of our Planet Earth and my beloved community of Songaia.  I hope the attachments can be open and shared with you.

  Most of you will not recognize and now you will when you see it again - the lines above in quotes are my byline and one that puts me in a space of observing and being grateful .... I can truly see all kinds of things out of the window of my house and of my heart.

  Love, 

  Nancy

  Please see the attachments.
