Yo! Like the lady says, let's focus on the post-election imperatives! Ellie, Standing Rock a Lakota tribe? Was in Saskatoon and Vogar, but never made it across the country line save drive down to Uptown. Keep up the good work! Good wishes is all I could afford for the 2G now. Take care.

Despite our strong experience of community we were never a bunch of goddamn clones, and what binds us is ever stronger than what separates us, regardless of all the years of being physically scattered. "Where sin (separation) abounds..." We all know that little piece of profundity, and we know how it works. Randy Sent from my iPad

Colleagues All including Jo and Susan-- On several occasions during my 82 years, I found the heat in the kitchen was fueled by my petulance and guilt. These were times when I decided to run from living in the kitchen of relationships that generated negative energy and disrespect; the reason being is that I am the one to do these dastardly deeds. It was at times lilke this that some one loved me enough to tell me to "suck it up!." OE is in the forgiving business. I confess it is remarkable how the rational and emotional temperament of EI/ICA-Order Ecumenical generates a pretty common consensus methodology. However, don't the contrary views provide worthwhile insights. Somewhere along the line, I remember our stories of the Contrary who lived as a reminder not to suck our significance out of what we do and what we said and believed. The Truth lies somewhere in the Middle of the Table. So, I ask both Jo and Susan to suck it up. You'll find that running from the OE list service only makes you lonely. I'll be glad when this damned election is over. This is not meant as a pejorative word, instead it is an honest prayer for what it is doing to us and the civility we embrace. Keep the faith, Ladies. Remember, it is during the times of greatest despair that you'll hear the words, "YOU ARE ACCEPTED." (God love that Man!)
