[Dialogue] [Oe List ...] Completed life of Jack Gilles

[Nancy Trask]

Hi Susan,
 I love the idea that we will continue to receive messages from Jack.  The
image really grabs me.  I think it applies to many of our loved ones who
have journeyed on from ‘this world’ and yet have had such a powerful effect
on our lives and our work through their passion and their intelligence —
that I need to be more open to hearing & seeing such messages from them.  I
suppose it’s the same as our meditative council, but I’m going to start
listening harder for these messages.
Thank you for sharing this image, and your entire appreciation of Jack
Gilles, such an incredible friend and colleague.
Nancy Trask
