FYI . . .Ellieelliestock(a)aol.com Sent: Monday, August 11, 2025 at 04:16:08 PM EDTSubject: Joanna Macy - A Remembrance Gathering - with Jack Kornfield, Tara Brach and more... | | | | | | | | | Dear Ellie, | | | | On Saturday, August 23rd, we will gather to honor the life and legacy of Joanna Macy—teacher, friend, mentor, and visionary elder. Joanna’s presence in this world was a rare and luminous gift. She brought together Buddhism, deep ecology, general systems theory, and her own courageous life experience to create a body of work that has touched countless lives. Through The Work That Reconnects, she invited us to face the great challenges of our time with open hearts, clear eyes, and a steadfast sense of belonging to the living Earth. I first met Joanna over thirty years ago, when she was my graduate school professor. Over the decades that followed, we became friends and collaborators, teaching side by side in programs that reached people around the world. Joanna’s insight, humor, and fierce compassion have left an indelible mark on my life, and on the lives of all who knew her. It is my honor to convene this gathering to remember Joanna not only for her extraordinary contributions, but for the way she lived—fully, bravely, and in deep connection with all beings. Warmly, Jonathan Gustin | | | | | | | | | | What - Remembering Joanna Macy - A Gathering When - Saturday Aug 23, 2025.

Hi Jim I'm not sure which one you are looking for. I only have one version. Here it is Richard THOSE WHO CARE /Tune: Annie's Song/ We know we are chosen, to be those who care, To know our election, and be those who dare. /Refrain:/ We cannot turn back now, our future is clear To claim our election‑to be those who care. To lay new foundations that care for mankind. In building Fifth City, a new social sign. A people of memories 60,000 years long. Telling the wonders, to the land they belong. /Refrain/ In the midst of the waters, a people alive, Building a nation as the third time arrives. Tomorrow's upon us, it's urgent to share. . The call to all people, to be those who care.

Looking for a song or songs
by James Wiegel 10 Aug '25

We may have written words a couple of times to John Denver’s “Annie’s Song”. David Marshall used part of one in one of the early chapters of his memoir (see photo attached). Anyone have the full lyrics to this or another version? Thank you Jim Wiegel “…the long work of turning their lives into a celebration is not easy. Come and let us talk“. The Sunflowers. Mary Oliver

This year wasbeen full with extreme encounters with life's blessings and death's door from publishing Bodhi Leaves (well received), to a sibling's reunion and death ( of one of us (bringing us closer), to election of the collapse of democracy (opp for practicing resilience), to occasion of losing half the blood in my body (yeah, near death experience!), to Rocky Mountain High retreat where 80 sang happy birthday and two of my poems were read so beautifully I couldn't believe I wrote them. (best present ever). This poem is all I have to offer. 1 August 2025 In the Silence The path lined with gray rocks of many shapes Defining the way between ponderosa pines, Huge boulders and gardens of fragrant heather. Clouds in the sky overhead appear close enough To reach up and touch Their billowing build up of tears waiting to shed. The Blazing Mountain claims its nobie challenges As it hides the sun's arrival on the eastern horizon Casting elusive shadows on the path, As the sun makes its way to the mountain's peak, Continuing its daily journey westward. Shad0ws fade as the mountain blazes angrily While sun spotlights the boundless resources of the Baca Grande And the plateau sings out the power of [possibility And wild creativity across the beauty of its landscape. I, standing in the tension Between the noble challenge of the blazing mountain And the vast possibility and wild creativity of baca grande, Breathe deeply into path of small stones Arriving home where I am, Welcoming overwhelming joyful gratitude For this opportunity to be so alive and able to love , Celebrating this vow to be One with the three jewels - The Buddha, The Dharma and The Sangha In these times of great traumatic change, (for which we were born) Vowing to sustain courage to heal and be the healer of suffering.
