From Anne Kathleen McLaughlin: "Good Snowy Morning from Canada, Robertson. Yes, I sent the posting to the six women who meet with me weekly on ZOOM. Four of us are Mystery Schoolers and on January 27th we were delighted to welcome Jean Houston as a voice of sanity and hope to our ZOOM call.
Rob, I met you at the Social Artistry event in Ashland in 2005. You and I were part of that small group who gathered each morning for prayer during those days. I also was present at Garrison on the September weekend of your wedding with Bonnie.
The ZOOM group is a remnant of "The Communion of Creative Fire" that I began in 2013 at Jean's urging. We are now four Americans and three Canadians and our conversation last night was unusually shadowed by anxiety about the present threats that affect both our countries from the new administration. Your posting this morning offered wisdom for a way forward, so I sent it on to the ZOOM group.
I am grateful for your steady, wise presence on Substack. Blessings to you and to Bonnie for all that you do and all that you are.
Great to hear from you, Anne Kathleen. Please give my best wishes to your colleagues. I am happy to know that your group is reading and discussing "Compassionate Conversations."
From Christopher Chase: "Wonderful, thanks so much!!!"
Good to hear from you, Christopher!
From Dr. Nafeez Ahmed: "thanks Robertson, a wonderful article!"
Good to hear from you, Nafeez!
