hello dear ones
as i'm sure many of us do, i find my thoughts turning to sue in mid-autumn, and once November comes it is every day I think of her spirit and hope she is in peace.
today i walked in the winter sun with my dog rufus, and the final yellow, orange, and red leaves are falling in the bright clear morning light. I have been seeing many birds this fall which make me think of sue.
i remember in the days after her death i was in airplane flying through some incredible clouds and i felt her presence so strongly there high above the earth as light streaming and surrounding the powerful cumulus in 3D. Having just lost my father this october, it makes me think of how a spirit is so often present in the days after their death. and as time passes, and perhaps we sense their proximity less, i see that as i sign of their peace.
and have been thinking of her work with mountains in virginia and west virginia, so for this year am making a donation to http://www.mountainjusticesummer.org/index.php
which jane lehr once posted. (but can someone tell me if the fund in sue's name of appalachian voices that jonson once posted is better and if so how to link it?)
a year ago her sister helen died on this day, the night before the second anniversary of sue's murder, which still breaks my heart as yet another tragedy linked to this violence and loss.
jennie has been working these past four years in a shelter for women and children fleeing violence. i am grateful for all the energy she puts into the world making safe spaces for women.
i am thankful for all of our courage as friends and community of sue who keep taking action in the world and speaking up for what we believe.
my love to you all,
megan
