[OSList] Angie Arrien

Fri May 2 09:28:27 PDT 2014

Thank you to everyone on this thread… I've been mourning in silence for the
last few days,
ever since hearing the news here.

I was deeply moved by Angeles during the Elders-Fellows gatherings that
Peggy mentioned…
most especially by her way of expressing appreciation, in such an authentic
and generous way.

I am feeling her passing, as such a strong wake-up call… calling us to
appreciate all our relations,
the gifts of connection that surround us, in this oh-so-transient present
moment…

my gratitude to each of you for holding the space,
where we can remember, mourn, and celebrate,
in community with one another...

Rosa
