[Oe List ...] [Dialogue] Wayne Nelson

[Isobel A Bishop]

Dear Jim and colleagues ,


We are so sad to hear of the death of Wayne. 

We remember him with great affection.  He often made me feel that his wisdom and life experience which he spoke of- was that of  a person much older in years.   He had so many profound truths in his being. 


Kazantzakis still says it with so much depth of meaning.  

Grace is yours and peace,

Isobel Bishop.

As soon as we are born the return begins, at once the setting forth and the coming back; we die in every moment.  Because of this many have cried out:  The goal of life is death!  But as soon as we are born we begin the struggle to create, to compose, to turn matter into life; we are born in every moment.  Because of this many have cried out:  The goal of ephemeral life is immortality!  In the temporary living organism these two streams collide:  (a) the ascent toward composition, toward life, toward immortality; (b) the descent toward decomposition, toward matter, toward death.
