First, a reflection on Ellery – as a
young and inexperienced Global Prior, Ellery was one of the ones who was
gracious enough to let me learn from my mistakes without rancor and yet with continued
nourishing support. Just her face was a human support mechanism. She
spiritually nourished me and we rarely even spoke. And with mortality on my
mind as so many saints are called home, knowing you have gone with God, I will
let go a bit of the anticipation of my own return.
For Carol, while there are many, many
memories: one that popped to the top was the time we were at the IERD in Delhi and had boarded the
VERY tiny elevator on the top floor (about the 22nd as I recall) of
the hotel where we were housed. We pushed the button for the ground floor and
about a third of the way down, the elevator shuddered to a stop and the door
opened…on a brick wall. Well, I was a little claustrophobic and unaware
that Carol was extremely claustrophobic. That hour waiting to be rescued (it
could have been 15 minutes, but seemed like SEVERAL hours) was revealing of the
wondrous woman of steel (Superman move over) who kept us breathing and laughing
to avoid injuring ourselves in the mad panic of fear that sets in when you MUST
get OUT and you cannot. Clearly our circumstances were not our problem. While
in “Heaven,” do a few cartwheels for me, my dear, as I know we both
would enjoy them.
