Salmon: reflection

Now, this is a Daily Office Witness, and I've been fed. Thank you. Bill Salmon ----- Original Message ----- From: via OE To: oe(a)wedgeblade.net Sent: Monday, November 03, 2014 9:58 AM Subject: Re: [Oe List ...] All Saints Day now passed Thank you, Sunny, for your witness on our Sainthood.So glad you decided to add your dad's name to our remembrance. For our local museum & gallery's Day of the Dead exhibit, I made an altar honoring my dad, who was addicted to alcohol, as well as gambling. He didn't honor my mother, who was acknowledged as a saint by many. The healing described below was such a miracle. Lightened-Up I dreamed of Daddy, A healing dream, Awakening unburdened From the heavy load I didn't realize I carried. The first offense I chose to bear Was not having a father Like Dick and Jane's, In a suit, white shirt and tie. My educated moralism grew. I resented his country speech, His chosen fun, Even his work-scarred hands And dirty fingernails. Judgment became a Cumbersome habit, Unnoticed, until angels Came in the night and Relieved me of its weight. I don't recall the dream But awoke remembering His vast love for me And the words on his tomb: "The truth will set you free."

I only decided to add his name after Sunny added her mom who was personally known to me and was truly a saint. The fact of the matter is that we are all saints as well as sinners. We tend to focus on the latter and diminish ourselves and the wonder of creation in the process. At the Iowa In-gathering this weekend I had an amazing encounter with a woman who told a wonderful story about how my father had changed her life forever simply by honestly answering her question at the end of a presentation he had done for Heifer International. She spoke of the confidence and affirmation of her life his clear and simple answer provided her as a ‘new to the community’ teacher. She has never forgotten him and the lesson of his response which shaped her life as an educator. Don’t diminish, either in your lives, your relationship to yourself and others, or in your relationship to the world and the ground of your being your own sainthood.

Fwd: GMCA Oct. 26
by David Zahrt via OE 02 Nov '14

02 Nov '14

SUN OCT 26 *Presbyterian Ch, Greencastle, PA to Unitarian Universalist Ch, Hagerstown, MD* The route to Hagerstown was only 11 miles. It had us crossing another state line. Since it was a short day, breakfast wasn’t scheduled until 8:30am. In the apartment we woke up at 7:30am. I packed up some of my bedding, got it down to the Church. The route was rolling. I didn’t have to walk any hills but I went very slowly up the hills. The March didn’t leave the Church until 10am. The schedule of events had the March crossing the PA/MD border at noon. I didn’t want to spend that kind of time. I crossed the border all by myself. The sign said Mason-Dixon line. I got to the U. U. Church about 11:30 am. When I arrived there were a number of cars in the parking lot. Once the cars left I went inside and introduced myself. Bill was the host and the chef. As we visited he showed me around. The Church had acquired the 8-acre property that had a 2 story house and a 4-car garage. The house had been turned into the nursery, the adult study room, and the office. They re-modeled the garage into the meeting hall/sanctuary. I spent some time journaling during the afternoon. They provided a potluck dinner. Bill was in charge. His helpers were Senior Citizens. Tables were set up which transformed the sanctuary into a dining hall. Very few, if any, locals joined us at the dinner table. Many of the Marchers set up their tents out in the yard. I prefer the indoor environment when it’s available. I set my sleeping pad under the table that serves as an altar. There were no meetings. Some folks stayed up until after 10pm. *It has been difficult for David to send his journaling so we are missing some dates. The final decision about the ending of the March was that a local truck was rented to store the belongings of those staying in WDC for a week. The stay days of Oct. 30-31 in Bethesda, MD were used to empty the gear truck, sort the belongings and the Lost and Found box. Then the food truck was cleaned and the refrigerator moved to the gear truck for return to Des Moines. The U-Haul will be turned in later in WDC. It was a big job, but a good team effort.* *On Nov. 1st, the March into WDC was 6 miles and met by people along the way, then a rally with many presenters. In the evening, the marchers gathered for their last evening all together and had a big send out for each one. Izzy returned and played his guitar so they could sing their songs. It was a very festive evening.* *David and Judy will have a home stay in Bethesda tonight and get on the road with the gear truck and solar panel trailer on Monday morning. They estimate 1050 miles to Des Moines. I am leaving Sunday morning in our van to meet David there mid-week (estimated 1650 miles for me). We are eagerly awaiting our reunion! LZ*
