[Oe List ...] For all the Saints

[sherwoodshankland at comcast.net]

Thanks, Herman for the note and especially the poetry. You happen to be one of my “colleagues” long standing within me form our days together in Cleveland. 

I remember a pedagogy session where as you were setting the context you noted: (my paraphrase) “You may keep a personal journal, but in your RS-I preparation your personal journaling can fit right into your Freedom Lecture 4 x 4…”  - This has stuck with me as a reminder to include my own witness in presentations etc. 

Warmly, Sherwood

I'm way behind in expressing my condolences for the completed lives of Nan Grow, David Zahrt, Lynn Bailey, George Holcombe and there are no doubt others. I was always moved by Psalm 103 which states (with my changes): 

 

Our days are like the grass;
    we flourish like flowers of the field;
later the wind passes over the field, and the flowers are gone, 
    and the field knows them no more. 

 

How can this be? Yet is so.

 

Thank God for the flower who once in glory stood giving birth to new flowers that still brighten the field.

 

Though I left the order long ago, my "colleagues" in the Order are still like a second family to me. Yes, they still stand tall within me and I love them so.

 

Herman
