We can be gracious even to those who take exception to the judgment others make, and of those we make. Charles choose the manner of his exit. It finally does not matter whether a causality can be established on any type of result that will or will not follow. Nor would we think it to be a gracious act. It is equally clear that judgments reflect more the state of being of the judger rather than the judged. Charles Moore made a choice, that is, to me, a rare and valiant one. He may have been trying to call not only attention to his causes but also to himself, but I do not think he was trying to be just "another so-and-so", or a second "this or another". I think, he was just being Charles Moore - who gave a speech once to lower a room's temperature - and for that, I am thankful. Sad, but I am moving on. I have my own choices to make! Don't we all?

We had his young teenage son at the Saskatoon House. Like many of our Order youth, he was not at ease with assigned "authority" figures, Duncan Holmes nor I. But I liked the son probably because he was "rebellious" enough to be assertive. Being an SMU/Perkins grad myself, Charles is a brother! Will light up a candle here in Canada (will most likely just turn on a LED flashlight) as Calgary goes on a Stampede, and I take five couples to Lake Louise in Banff on a three day tour. Canada Day was a big deal, and tennis bonne femme Bouchard just made the Wimbledon Finals. Charles lit a bigger fire. He remains aflame in me. Jaime
