Today, we celebrate the 112th birthday of our teacher Joe Mathews. And on the 16th of this month, we mark the day that he died at the age of sixty-six. Gratitude for his clarity, wisdom, and passion to serve the least, the last, and the lost. Now in our time of chaos, collapse, and transformation, may we each be strengthened by his words and deeds.

Thanks, Karen, for all you are doing for the ICA archives and much more. I am wondering what Joe would be doing now in the midst of the challenges of 2023. We turned toward the world. Now we must turn toward being part of the Earth. What do you think?

Rob, to your question of where JWM’s cremains reside, it is in a crematory crypt somewhere in Chicago. His children would know the exact place. I was present with others on the Panchayat and Centrum Priors when he died at high noon, while John Epps was delivering the closing address at the conclusion of the weekend of the Guardians Meeting. Those of us present sang, under the direction of his brother, Bishop Jim, all the verses of “Those who Wait on the Lord.” Joe lay in state that afternoon in Lyn and Joe’s quarters at Kemper while any and all Kemper residents, including our children, paid their respects. That evening the Panchayat and Centrum Priors phoned colleagues around the world to inform them of Joe’s passing. If I recall correctly, David Morton and I accompanied Joe’s remains to the crematory, but I can’t be sure — “senior moments.” His Celebration of Life was a powerful sending forth. Grace and peace, Marilyn

Like Rob, I was pondering what Joe would be suggesting that we now do at this moment in history. I think Joe might focus now on guiding us to individually focus a bit more on that mysterious Power that is the catalytic force that keeps us connected to the enigmatic unconditional Love or goodness by enlivening within and among us with that ineffable Wisdom of what living on this planet earth as human beings is all about. We human beings are IN this World of planet earth but we are not OF it. It is that “OF” part of us that needs our exploration or “research” now so to be able to better serve our fellow human beings thru the present day challenges we are now in the midst of with Grace and Peace.

Today, we celebrate the 112th birthday of our teacher Joe Mathews. And on the 16th of this month, we mark the day that he died at the age of sixty-six. Gratitude for his clarity, wisdom, and passion to serve the least, the last, and the lost. Now in our time of chaos, collapse, and transformation, may we each be strengthened by his words and deeds.
