[Dialogue] The key question . . .

[Nancy Lanphear]

Dear Ones,

When I read Jan's comments this morning, Thomas Berry's quote came up - for
me it begins to come close to a divine calling ...perhaps EARTH could be
stretched to all my relations, the universe, life ....

" MY GREAT WORK IS WHERE MY OWN GREAT JOY INTERSECTS WITH EARTH'S GREAT
NEED" ...

With love and gratitude for my colleagues who continue to raise the
QUESTION (s) ....

Nancy
