Alice, the memories you shared, as well as those
from Lela Jahn, are just terrific. Get her attachment on her message
sent yesterday (July 30 9:31 p.m.). Wise ones say that history is
changed by the stories we tell - and that the narrative we develop is
incredibly important.
You gave a picture of the real situation in Fifth
City, and how many difficult steps Ruth had to climb to do what she
did. How could Fifth City become the kind of symbol it did without
that kind of love, patience, sheer grit - and oh yes,
imagination! Who around the world today could completely give up due
to their desperate situation with that kind of example that really
happened. Kudos to all who worked with her as well, both from the
community and the white folks from EI who jumped in to try to give understanding
and support. And thanks for the wonderful picture of Ruth.
Thanks to all who have memories to share about key
happenings in EI/O:E/ICA efforts. You didn't have time when all
was exploding around you - but now perhaps you do - with added perspective from
what you've learned since. So perhaps it's time to share what you know -
and only you know.
Re Russ Campbell: See Kaze (Kaye Hayes)
interview on Michael May's Storywarrior site for good accounts of her work with
Russ in Australia. And much more.
Great depth questions, great interviews with EI
colleagues - and others - on the storywarrior site.
