Salmon: "Poverty" chart correction
by William Salmon via OE 23 Sep '15

23 Sep '15

These charts are still available at $30.00 plusl postage. Yes, the copy sent to me by OE had the mistake in the Poverty chart of "Disengagement" corrected to "Detachment." As I remember, I sold about 20 charts. The printer keeps these on file for several years. I find them helpful mediative charts. In the past, I used to dig out the study sessions and do them.

Re: [Oe List ...] Happy birthday to me

Well Herman, As you know, celebrating a birthday isn’t just about the passage of time. It is a marking of the significant events of your life-journey and of becoming conscious that the Universe absolves you for your entire presence here. That’s worth celebrating. Congratulations on your 70th (or 71st) trip around our Sun. May you have many more and it’s all significant! Rod Rippel From: Herman Greene via OE Sent: Monday, September 21, 2015 6:32 AM To: OE Listserv Subject: [Oe List ...] Happy birthday to me I turned 70 today, seems worth mentioning. It's a big milestone for me. I'll end my law practice in December and devote myself entirely to issues of ecology, culture and justice. I get this feeling my life is about to be turned on it's end, but I don't know how. It was so nice to see so many of you at Betty Pesek's memorial, to do the Daily Office again for the first time in 40 years, and to remember Betty and so many others.. I feel that we of OE still have something great to do together. Jack Gilles, Marshall Jones and I discussed at length during our time at Betty's memorial Al Lingo has a phenomenal memory for order history detail. We listened to him for hours. While I'm writing, former wife Joy's house in Denver was flooded in freak flash flood in June, she and her husband are recovering. My two sons Nate (born in the Order) and Brendan are well and live in Denver. Best wishes to those who will gather in Chicago this week. I'll be in New York working activities related to the UN's new sustainable development goals that will be adopted at a UN Summit on Sept 25-27. In October I'll be at the World Parliament of Religions in Utah and will lead a session on ecological civilization (a small session).

not to mention the dear little mice that used to run all over the flour bags - poised to be used for chappatis... I take it, Isobel meant the flour for the chapatis, not the dear little mice . . . I do not scour the memory bins often, but the Maliwada HDTS of the Fall of '77, I think, was when I encountered the futility of "achievement" and the decision to just go out and do it. I did not last the duration of the HDTS as I planned and ended up soaking in Ajanta and Ellora, the train ride back to Mumbai through Pune, I think, and the richy beach of Mumbai. I skipped Calcutta and the Bay of Bengal, choosing a stopover in Colombo and Singapore on my way back to Manila. I experienced the Maliwada expansion as sheer bedlam that killed any anxiety about avoiding any in Cebu and Davao! I had taught ITIs and Academies enough that the HDTS was methodologically the same save the content was an attempt at Gordon's et al University 13. God, we were wild and ambitious. And the Harpers and Bishops were in the middle of it all. Here's looking at both families!

You will recall that you and Roxanna and Jim and I were part of the first HDTS in Maliwada. On some occasions we had some moments to ourselves, and we used to catch the bus in to Aurangabad. We waited at the bus stop where a small woman brewed the most delicious Chai. She made it in a big brass tea pot, and the buffalo milk was boiling over the gas, as she threw in a few handfuls of Chai. Since then, I have never been able to find the same exotic taste of Chai?.! Then, when we arrived in the city of Aurangabad, you and Roxanna would go off to find a hamburger, and Jim and I would find a place which made omelettes! Your Pipe would always be around, too ! I recall how much we all used to meet in the kitchen, and struggle to get ice to keep us cool, not to mention the dear little mice that used to run all over the flour bags - poised to be used for chappatis... I have already mentioned our year we spent together in the Singapore Centrum, when Roxanna was the Supervisor of our son Peter as he worked at his Correspondence School work. This was the way he was educated from Australia, and Roxanna was assigned to make sure he did all his School work in the early part of the day, before the afternoon got so very humid? Go well dear friend. "Those were the days my friend, we thought they'd never end?.." In love and peace, Isobel and Jim. xxxx On 15/09/2015, at 1:08 AM, Herman Greene via OE <oe(a)lists.wedgeblade.net> wrote: > > > Gordon, > > Will never forget those rides with you to the University of Chicago and the mandatory stop at the newstand to buy The New York Times. > > Throughout your days you have brought a keen intellect and wit to our fellowship and you have guided us in preserving our memories and insights. > > We are good at seeing death as the completion of life and a time of celebration, maybe not so good at the grief and suffering and being with the mystery of death. > > Oh, and you're not dead yet.

Re: [Oe List ...] Death of Chris Holcombe
by George Holcombe via OE 18 Sep '15

18 Sep '15

We lost our Son, Chris, Sunday to cancer. He was a grand human being, ask anyone who knew him and many of you did. Raised partially in a ghetto, in Asia, lived among Aboriginals in Australia. Studied Broadcasting out of High School. Dropped out of college twice. Learned trades, managed fast food restaurants. Self taught himself about computers and worked for several Hi Tech companies the last being Apple where he was employed throughout his illness. Had his own interview radio program on a local station. Was a photographer. SXSW being one of the events he shot, Had 2 sons and a granddaughter, and all this touches only the surface, and of course he was part of our community. Always one to lift the mood, be respectful and ask the next question. At his request, we will hold a Memorial Celebration of his life at the Wells Branch Community Center on Saturday, September 26. Thanks to everyone who have extended their condolences. We miss him deeply. <https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10153201825627476&set=a.10153157899…> George Holcombe 14900 Yellowleaf Tr.

A Very Brief Collegium

Gordon, Will never forget those rides with you to the University of Chicago and the mandatory stop at the newstand to buy *The New York Times.* Throughout your days you have brought a keen intellect and wit to our fellowship and you have guided us in preserving our memories and insights. We are good at seeing death as the completion of life and a time of celebration, maybe not so good at the grief and suffering and being with the mystery of death. Oh, and you're not dead yet. You have miles to go before you sleep and promises to keep, promises to keep. God be with you and Roxanna and your family and with all of us as we journey with you. You are surrounded by love, affection and gratitude, certainly from me.
