<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:">Jaime, did I miss something? Are you terminally ill, or were your string of recent emails simply marking passage from one earthly plane to another, departing Saipan for___?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:">I was deeply touched by each email. Stopped everything to sing, alone at my computer, “At the Center” and felt a wave of love and nostalgia roll over me palpably.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:">Loved your stories about your dad and his wanderings, the accident in Cagayan (though born in Panay I grew up in Mtn Prov of Luzon) leading to a time when he perhaps wished to re-create that scene more definitely.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:">My time in EI and ICA are like those pieces of metal grafted into your dad’s very bones—which is more “real” the graft or the raw material? Which is it that hurts when it rains? Which would you give up, the metal or the bone? Hard choice that, if you had to make it. But the one thing I think the Spirit Movement got wrong is the one-dimensional universe. I’ve not “been” there, but I’ve “seen” the other side. Not a 2-story structure, but a multi-dimensional reality. The end of the earthly body is not the end. I know beyond a doubt it is the beginning. It is the freedom even Bonhoeffer (and any of us humans) can only see “through the glass darkly.”</span></div>
