Blue Skies
by Sharon Fisher 18 Dec '23

18 Dec '23

Friends, I thought many of you would be interested in seeing this video clip of Al Jolson singing "Blue Skies" in "The Jazz Singer," one of the first talkie movies. This is a video clip showing him singing a few versions of "Blue Skies." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Djd1XfwDAQs I love this song! It works well in lots of settings. Grace and peace, Sharon -- saf1220(a)gmail.com c: 503.807.7385

FW: Greetings from Elaine
by Lynda C 01 Oct '23

01 Oct '23

Send greetings and news to Elaine in her new home. We are thankful for the chance discovery of a blood clot in the injured leg, which is now being treated with blood thinners. Lynda From: Elaine K Stover <greenschemes(a)bellsouth.net> Date: Monday, August 28, 2023 at 10:09 AM To: Cock, John P. <lynda860(a)outlook.com> Subject: Greetings from Elaine Dear Lynda, Please forward this – I am on my third of 6 weeks, recovering from a fracture of my rt. Tibia. I’m about to get my beginners license for my wheelchair. I am currently in Terra Bella, a senior living facility in Greensboro, NC. It has excellent physical therapy!! The instigating reason for my hospitalization was my Zenkers divererticulum, which flared up again in June with no warning ( it was surgically dealt with in 2009). I had no warning. No pain. I choked and the rest is history. Now I am on a pureed diet – although I widely interpret that. No date has been set for the necessary surgery yet. I’m becoming refamiliarized with our health system again.!? My phone number is: 336-605-0143. Or elaine(a)greenschemcesnc.com<mailto:elaine@greenschemcesnc.com>. I’d love to hear from you! I heard this morning that this is the 60th anniversary of the March on Washington – 1963. Where were you then??? Best Wishes! Elaine Stover Terra Bella 1208 New Garden Rd. Greensboro, NC 27410

His “truth telling’” is a deeply touching heart to heart moment as he says, I Vow To Be Happy”The chosen poems quintessentially “celebrate the precious gift of being a member of the Earth community” because Everyday Is Earth Day.

Searching for a paper
by James Wiegel 26 Sep '23

26 Sep '23

For whatever reason, I am being pushed to reconsider the other world. I found a paper by Tillich (see attached) and I remember a paper, I believe by Niebuhr called "We live in 2 worlds" or something that we studied. Anyone recall?? Have a copy?? I checked the Global Research Network website and also the online data base and was unable to find it. Of course, now that I am 78, I have to wonder . .. did it actually exist? Thanks for any help. And, how are you all doing?? Over the past 6 weeks, I have been much reminded of one of the Old Testament readings from the daily office in RS-1 Amos 5:18-24. We fled from the heat in Arizona (114 avg in July) to Colorado and a tornado met us. We returned to Arizona and Hurricane Hillary just missed us. We went to a niece's wedding in Oregon and the venue was changed due to a wildfire evacuation order. Now we are back in Arizona, but a brother- and sister-in-law are stuck at an airport in Charlotte because of Hurricane Idalia . . . Jim Wiegel Theunknown is what is. And to be frightened of it is what sends everybodyscurrying around chasing dreams, illusions, wars, peace, love, hate, allthat. Unknown is what is. Accept that it's unknown, and it's plainsailing.

26 Sep '23

I had opportunity for several years to work with the author trying to adapt and integrate ICA methods with a couple of approaches to conflict transformation The secular religious polarization he describes in Israeli society reminded me of recent reflections about the recovery of the other world and implications https://open.substack.com/pub/theliberalpatriot/p/rising-above-israels-secu… Jim Wiegel “…the long work of turning their lives into a celebration is not easy.

FW: Sue/Steve Laxdal: Saging and books and our thanks
by Lynda C 22 Sep '23

22 Sep '23

Looks like my e-mail archives has some helpful information. Please note our e-mail addresses are not current. This was before we moved to Davidson. The Doves no longer use e-mail. I’ll notify Janelle via phone. Good articles above. I’ll check out the website if it is still available. Sharing the legacy of that visit with the Laxdals with gratitude and care, Lynda and John From: John Cock <jpc2025(a)triad.rr.com> Date: Thursday, April 10, 2014 at 5:25 PM To: 'Lynda Cock' <llc860(a)triad.rr.com> Subject: FW: Sue/Steve Laxdal: Saging and books and our thanks ________________________________ From: Sue Laxdal [mailto:sue.laxdal@igc.org] Sent: Saturday, March 15, 2014 3:13 PM To: markdove543(a)gmail.com; Lynda Cock; jpc2025(a)triad.rr.com Cc: Stefan Laxdal Subject: Sue/Steve Laxdal: Saging and books and our thanks What a delightful conversation we had today. I Thank you Jenelle and Mark for including us in your plans in this way. Attached are two articles from the Sage-ing International website. They have a free section of the website and then a minimally paid one if it is of interest. These two articles are available on the home page. Lynda and Jenelle, another book that I just finished is The Language of Flowers, a well written first novel. At the end is a list of flowers and what they mean, but the story is of a foster child. Another book, based on a true story, is In the Name of Salome, about a poet of the Dominican Republic and her daughter. Don’t read this one on a Kindle..you want to flip back and forth a bit. Again we so appreciated this chance to be with you and hope to see you another time. Stay well. Warm regards, Sue & Steve 843-342-6813
