Dear Colleagues, I would like to start by saying how much we enjoy reading the Order Listserve. That will be our preference in any future arrangements. The recent thoughts from Herman and Walt have vibed with me. I said to Jim about a week ago- that although I love and respect my friends at the Local Church we attend- the handful who went through RS1 in the congregation are where I find my shared interior space, as Herman calls it. Is it something to do with the matrix we have in common? I don' t really know, and I do want to underline the need to tell the stories- I am reading a book about Mowanjum right now, and discovering depths of wisdom and grace and hope. So, let's tell our stories folks, we all have them tucked away… Peace be yours, from Spring in Sydney (officially Sept 1st, but already signs are all around us.) Isobel Bishop
