I know!  She thought it up all by herself. I would expect no less from Funda
- or anybody else on this remarkable LIST.

When I read Funda's sentence above, I caught my breath.  What an amazing
thought...that systems exist to serve and die when they stop serving.  

 

What does this say when so much seems to be done seemingly for greed, power,
control?  What is their gift, their service?

 

Funda, where did this remarkable insight come from?

 

from sunny (but cold) Seattle,

Peggy
