[Oe List ...] Gail Oden

[Isobel A Bishop]

Dear Alfrieda,
Thank you for your words which are so grounded. I salute you :)
It is a joy to read the condolences which we write about those who pass on to the glory land. I remember both the Odens  with deep respect. I did not work closely with Gail, and yet I noticed a genuine depth and wisdom and deep strength within. 
Thank you Jim Weigel for the two links you sent. I deeply appreciate the thoughts of Audrey Tang. 
Down here although we have a breathing space in our more progressive Government, China is a nearby huge concern to us and Pacifica. 

In hope and with love,
Isobel

Filling ourselves with goodness, and beauty and humility and compassion and gratitude however we can, for the long journey ahead. We know not for how long but we do know where we want to head.
