My memories of Russ were from the Westside days. Gentle, insightful. Dark hair and dark eyes. Calm.

Dear David Walters and all,
The small part I recall of the late Russell Campbell is this: ( this will need some help from others.)
Russell and Kaye Hayes were assigned to work around the northern part of Australia- around Darwin and to some of the Aboriginal Mission stations- Russell used to wear sandals that he had made out of used tyres.
When Russell was living in the Sydney House, he composed both the Contemplation song- ' Come walk with Francis' and the Being song. The music would be blaring out loudly most of the day while he wrote his poetry.
Russell always wore a very simple grey 'safari suit' . He had made it himself. He wore his dark, wavy hair shoulder length.
When he was assigned to the children's structures, the children always did interesting and different activities- e.g..,climbing trees.
Maybe good to recall that words written by the late Russell Campbell.

thank you, Jaime.

Jon, not formatted the nice way it is on a one sheet but this might work for your purposes: Tune: Theme from "Black Orpheus"
My life is as
Vast as the sea
With Paul
I merge with all.
Yet I live with the Lord on my side
And wild intuition My guide.
Called to burn as an Undying flame
Each word and each Gesture the Name.
And it's no longer
I who is seen
Yes, it's there on the limbs of the worm eaten tree where the All and the Nothing can BE.
