I think it's not easy (esp by email) to convey the mystery of the memory of certain individuals and the way they moved into and through our lives. I know when this thread began, I felt a tug of concern for naming names but then felt a rush of gratitude to say and write names and read others' stories. So, here's to remembering the way some people gave of their lives for a short or long time, and for the renewal that happened in the process, or didn't. Diann

Not for me. These names evoke multiple levels of awareness and consciousness for me. They are sacred.

So Far, we have hit the objective level (naming Black Order Colleagues) with some 1 person reflections or reminincing about an individual our two. Naming "women" or "children" of the Order feels like a different animal, ballgame, kettle of fish. Lists won't convey much to me.

Although I do remember enjoying saying Yes to the question: Did you grow up in the Order? My fuller answer was "Yes, but I was 20 when I joined."

Grace, Peace, LIGHT,
