My Inner Light Shone on Monday Morning, March 4th Oh What a Release

 

                                                        Morning light at  Bayfront Park, SRQ  March 6th

But oh the inner light on Monday 4th.  I had been fretting about my over-the-top grief for Zion.  But it was not only about Zion, a.k.a. Mr Z.

It was about other deaths in the space of a year.

......The death of my beloved friend and mentor the Revd. Gwen W. Sears.

...  my twin sister Elizabeth.

... my older sister Jean.

...  Joan Morrow, a sister in Christ at St. Stephen's Parish, Pittsfield MA who rendered to me gracious and wise pastoral care.

...  Kay D and Barbara D, parishioners in Pittsfield; and friends of mine when they moved just up the street to Bradenton, FL 

...  Ben Matlock a friend and colleague in Massachusetts for oh so many years.

So much sadness. What do I expect at my age? Oh that it were more!
