Tamara, I often think of you. I have some idea of what it is like to live with these still little understood auto-immune disorders from friends and clients. A cascade of issues, and what treats one symptom often makes another worse. Spaw, I'm glad you are doing well, or were at last post. Wendy, Tommy and all others, sending light and love.

In the gospel workshop at the Getaway, some one led us in a hymn I had not heard before, "There are Angels Hovering 'Round." Beautiful spontaneous harmonies arose on the chorus. When people come together in community to offer care, concern and support, we are as angels hovering 'round one another. When people row together, or join together in song, we realize our connectedness to one another and the great web of life. I am grateful for all this community, and especially to all of you who share so freely of your experience, strength, struggles, pain, hope and acceptance.
