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

Re: [Oe List ...] Two more weeks
by Lynda C 05 Sep '23

05 Sep '23

Dearest Elaine, The song “Inch by Inch, Row by Row. Gonna make this garden grow” comes to mind for one of my favorite gardeners. Wish we could make it faster, but at our age, healing takes a lot longer than when we watched our younger folks heal. I’ll pass on to OE folks who can help cheer you on and share their experiences which will help build a new story. Sending care and patience and renewed energy vibes your way.

Two more weeks in the wheelchair. She said there is part of the bone that was “crushed”, not just straight broken that hasn’t completely healed yet. Step by step! Elaine

Attention: Let the Earth Breathe (choral arrangement, links/attachment)
by Ellie Stock 16 Aug '23

16 Aug '23

Subject: Let the Earth Breathe (choral arrangement); backstory of song Hi Folks, Greetings from St. Louis. I hope you have survived the heat and storms of this summer. In previous years during the Earth Day season, I have emailed the music notation and link to audio and song video of the song "Let the Earth Breathe." I am now sending a recent choral arrangement of "Let the Earth Breathe" which was excerpted from our church's (Second Presbyterian Church, St. Louis) April 22 Earth Day Service that Carleton and I coordinated. The song was arranged and accompanied by our Minister of Music, Spencer Smith, and sung by the Second PC choir. The audio recording is not a professional one, but it gives you an idea. Spencer improvises on the accompaniment music notation he wrote. Tempo and emphases can vary, but the audio gives you an idea of what can be done. Some backstory of the song: "Let the Earth Breathe" was originally written in the spring of 2012 for our local Ferguson Environmental Event which was also our local ICA 50th Anniversary Event. During the event we planned for future environmental work in the Ferguson area, colored strips which were sent to the Greenrise for the collaborative mural that was dedicated in September of 2012. From that meeting was birthed the Ferguson Eco Team that Carleton and I co-coordinate, now in its 12th year. Looking to September, some churches and groups celebrate the Season of Creation, beginning September 1 with the International Day of Prayer for Creation and ending October 4, the Feast Day of St. Francis. So, if you are part of a group/choir or know of one for which this song would be appropriate, feel free to use or pass it along. Or it could be used for Earth Day or any day. Attached (below): Let the Earth Breathe, Choral Arrangement music YouTube link: Let the Earth Breathe, Choral arrangement: https://youtu.be/QLF0orJp42Y Stay cool, and I hope you have an enjoyable rest of your summer!

Elaine Stover update
by Lynda C 09 Aug '23

09 Aug '23

Elaine has moved into a retirement community in Greensboro this past weekend. Her address: Elaine Stover Terra Bella 1208 New Garden Rd. Apt. 221 Greensboro, NC 27410 I love the name of the residence, Terra Bella, so fitting for a Stover residence and their family work of care of the Earth. Also I love the address of New Garden Rd. Hopefully, soon, Elaine will find a little raised spot where her talent for gardening can be displayed as she recuperates from a fractured leg and awaits surgery. Her computer is now set up so she can receive e-mails: greenschemes(a)bellsouth.net<mailto:greenschemes@bellsouth.net> Her telephone number for the land line with her old familiar number is being set up: 336-605-0143; In the meantime, use this cell phone number: 336-314-0067. Thanks to amazing friends who made the move possible. I know she will appreciate hearing from colleagues. Lynda

FW: Update about Elaine Stover
by Lynda C 25 Jul '23

25 Jul '23

The following is a letter about Elaine from Tim Leisman, new chairperson of Emerging Ecology, who has been on a few ICA zoom calls over the years and accompanied Nelson to India within the last few years. Tim and Elaine worked on the letter a couple of days ago. Elaine has asked that I post this on the OE list serve, even though awaiting more detail. I had a visit with her yesterday as she works on next steps regarding her location, health, and future needed surgery. Because of the changing situation, contact with Elaine is limited, though snail mail to their home address 5911 Western Trail, Greensboro, NC 27410 still works and is monitored several times a week. For only the next few days her phone connection is as listed below at White Stone Health Care 336-510-4829. She would appreciate hearing from you. Hopefully this will be updated within the next few days. Email is still being worked on. In the meantime, Elaine is hoping for a buyer who will appreciate the Universe Story Walk, the permaculture garden designed by Fred Lanphear, pond and the large wooded area (5+ acres) surrounding the house. Location is near the airport and small shops for most daily needs. We can attest to a wonderful 4 season location. Close family friend Jennifer Kramer is the POA for Elaine. She and husband Gerald Martin and their two sons are the Stovers’ “adopted family.” I also can be contacted for questions. (336-404-0770). With gratitude and care for the Stovers, Lynda and John Cock From: Tim Leisman <timleisman(a)outlook.com> Date: Sunday, July 23, 2023 at 12:28 PM To: Lynda860(a)outlook.com <lynda860(a)outlook.com> Subject: Update about Elaine Stover Good morning, Lynda, I hope you’re doing well. As I think you’ve heard, Elaine Stover had an emergency surgery recently for a condition called Zenker’s diverticulum. She mentioned speaking with you early on after the surgery but maybe not since getting back to Greensboro. She is currently recovering in a facility called Whitestone in Greensboro and will soon move to another care facility. Elaine is in good spirits despite eating bad food most of the time and I’m here with her writing this. Without access to her computer and email, she hasn’t been able to reach out and has asked me to serve as a messenger between her and the ICA network. Due to this unexpected event, she has to sell the 5+ acre property at 5911 Western Trail in Greensboro, the space where the universe story walk is located, where Emerging Ecology is headquartered, and where she and Nelson put care into the ecological design for 30 years. We thought of reaching out to see if you can think of anyone who might be interested in buying the property. If you'd like to get in touch with her to talk about this or anything else that's going on, she can be reached at the phone in her room at 336-510-4829 for at least the next few days. I can help you keep up with her after she leaves Whitestone as well. Let me know if we can chat more about this and what’s happening down here in Greensboro. I also wanted to see if you are the right person to talk with about things in Nelson’s office that need to go to the ICA, per provisions in his will. I’m still waiting to see a copy of the will to know exactly what is meant to go back to Chicago but I am happy to help arrange for books and papers that may be important for the ICA to keep. I know there are some books that should probably go to the library at the Greenrise among other things. All the best, Tim Leisman
