John Epps completed life
by John Epps 16 May '23

16 May '23

Dear Communion of Saints, John's earthly existence was completed on Wednesday morning, June 24, 2020. His last words were "thank you," the same words he wrote to you on June 9 in his brief comments, "Thanks for the memories." For five days we were privileged to be in the lovely Denver Hospice which enveloped us with grace and compassion. I am grateful for your many comments of appreciation for John in response to his "Last Collegium." His remains will be interred at the Montview Presbyterian Church Columbarium in Denver. Grace and Peace, Ann

“Loneliness” I too have known loneliness. I too have known what it is to feel misunderstood, rejected, and suddenly not at all beautiful. Oh, mother earth, your comfort is great, your arms never withhold. It has saved my life to know this. Your rivers flowing, your roses opening in the morning. Oh, motions of tenderness! ~Mary Oliver

Thinking of you
by Nancy Lanphear 28 Feb '23

28 Feb '23

[image: 0-2.jpg] Dear Elaine and Nelson, I'm holding you both in my heart as you journey on, each on your own path yet together in this experience of a transition. Mary Oliver writes in her poem of Black Woods Forest words that have served me as a mantra. May it speak to you and offer you peace. To live in this world you must do three things: to love what is mortal; to hold it against your bones knowing that your life depends on it; and, when the time comes to let it go, to let it go. Sent with deep love and memories, Nancy

3/16/2023 Your are invited! Eco film night: Rights of Nature; info; link to registration
by Ellie Stock 28 Feb '23

28 Feb '23

Dear Friends, YOU ARE INVITED! SAVE THE DATE. The Ferguson Eco Team will be hosting its next environmental film THE RIGHTS OF NATURE, A GLOBAL MOVEMENT, via ZOOM, Thursday, March 16, 7:00 PM Central Time. Film length 52 minutes, conversation to follow. TO REGISTER FOR ZOOM LINK: https://bit.ly/FET16Mar2023 Also see attached flyer. Share with your friends. The 2020 documentary THE RIGHTS OF NATURE: A GLOBAL MOVEMENT focuses on a growing environmental initiative where natural areas are given legal rights that can be enforced by people, governments and communities. It’s a beautifully shot deep dive into earth jurisprudence, philosophy, permaculture, spirituality and a neo-indigenous future for humanity. As pressures on ecosystems mount and as conventional laws seem increasingly inadequate to address environmental degradation, communities, cities, regions and countries around the world are turning to a new legal strategy known as The Rights of Nature.“Nature often has legal rights as codified in environmental laws, but granting nature legal personhood is a different story,” co-director Crimmel said in a statement, “The main difference is that a Rights of Nature framework typically grants legal personhood status to nature, meaning that a river, for instance, would have the same rights as a person.” Conversation to follow the film TO REGISTER FOR ZOOM LINK: https://bit.ly/FET16Mar2023 For more information: (314) 521-8418, carletonstock(a)aol.com #yiv8440270602 filtered {}#yiv8440270602 filtered {}#yiv8440270602 filtered {}#yiv8440270602 p.yiv8440270602MsoNormal, #yiv8440270602 li.yiv8440270602MsoNormal, #yiv8440270602 div.yiv8440270602MsoNormal {margin:0in;font-size:11.0pt;font-family:sans-serif;}#yiv8440270602 a:link, #yiv8440270602 span.yiv8440270602MsoHyperlink {color:blue;text-decoration:underline;}#yiv8440270602 span.yiv8440270602EmailStyle20 {font-family:sans-serif;color:windowtext;}#yiv8440270602 .yiv8440270602MsoChpDefault {font-family:sans-serif;}#yiv8440270602 filtered {}#yiv8440270602 div.yiv8440270602WordSection1 {}

Best thoughts of and for Nelson Stover
by Linda and Milan Hamilton 27 Feb '23

27 Feb '23

Nelson, (Milan here) my most vivid memory of you is from Town Meeting days when Linda and I were in Boston and I was on the road in Maine as part of a “Strike Force”? Orchestrated by you and Larry Ward. We would gather every weekend either at the Boston or Hartford House and get rejuvenated for being “On the Road Again” (I still sing that in the car sometimes). The celebrations you two planned for the teams were memorable, the night we all went to see Star Wars and came back to the Hartford House to do the Star Wars dance (in costume?) stands out. That was the year Joe died and we also celebrated his life in Boston I think. The years since we have followed yours and Elaine’s continued life of service with interest and amazement. Thank you from two of your colleagues. Mother Earth is blessing you now as you have been a blessing to her. Grace and Peace. Milan and Linda Sent from my iPad
