An old colleague, an old friend, telephoned last night
. . . out of the blue, we had not spoken in 5 years or more. What a treat, sort of a fount of blessing . . . We talked of many things, it was like my ear was dying of thirst, starved for the sounds of that voice. After 40 minutes or so, I gave the phone to my wife and she, too, took in the glory of it. Among many things, we talked of Meg Wheatley, and the recent study group on So Far From Home . . . Interestingly, this is one of Meg's prescriptions for us as warriors of the human spirit. Just call someone you haven't talked to in a while . . . She even suggests dropping in, unannounced, for a visit. My oh my. Surely worked for me. I recommend it. For those of you who know him, it was Charles Lingo of Atlanta, Georgia . . . you can imagine the conversation, and the news (a lot of the details have already slipped my consciousness) Jim Wiegel A day without sunshine is like, you know, night., Unknown 401 North Beverly Way,Tolleson, Arizona 85353623-363-3277jfwiegel@yahoo.comwww.partnersinparticipation.com Upcoming ToP training opportunities in Arizona More info on: ToP® Facilitation Methods ToP® Strategic Planning: Mastering the Technology of Participation Register on line / see the ToP National ScheduleAICP Planners: 14.5 CM for all ToP® courses The AZ ToP® Community of Practice meets the 1st Friday, of every month, 1-4 pm, at ACYR, 648 N. 5th Avenue, Phoenix, AZ 85003 From: Sarah H.

Ah YES! Mary Laura Jones and Ken Otto treated us to a visit here in Altamont this past weekend, and it was full of glory for us too, as well as the opportunity to celebrate Hannah Otto's graduation from nearby Bard College which Ken attended on Sat. while Mary Laura, Dick and myself feasted with many of our friends with a pot luck supper. I got the chance to read the Conclusion of THIS CHANGES EVERY THING by Naomi Klein, which they had with them, as a result of ICA board's study (led by Karen Troxel) at their recent board meeting...another possibility for our Fall Study Group to consider. Karen also did a chart of the book. Ellen ' On May 19, 2015, at 11:20 AM, James Wiegel wrote:
