hi there dearest HO.... didn't pick up the note at the end of your email about the sight thingy.....
sending huge love and cool healing thoughts to remove the b.... pokers... just pondering whether we are more in-sightful, when we close our out-sightful eyes for a while.... can't imagine how your personal insights could be greater..... you are SO amazing in how you continually see what's important and what's needed.... and how your generosity of spirit never fails..... thanks for being such a great example of what it is to be a wonderful human with love Romy Begin forwarded message:

Whatever shall we do when you come at the world with both eyes fully blazing?

I saw your first paragraph, and my eyes didn't make it to the second - all about rank and privilege. I suppose there is a certain privilege that comes with experience, but hopefully it is earned. I would also hope that a day never comes when it (experience, rank, and privilege) stand unchallenged. Speaking as the elder, who I suppose I am, I feel under a great obligation to share what I have experienced. And when I feel strongly about something, I feel an equal obligation to express myself as clearly and directly as I am able. Speaking as a participant of this remarkable LIST, I feel in some way cheated when no conversation ensues. What I have experienced, what we have all experienced, is only a starting point. What we are experiencing now, and what we anticipate experiencing is the growing edge, and that is where the fun happens. In a very real way, rank and privilege stop in the present moment where we are all neophytes and co-learners. I might also say that one of the distinct disadvantages of OSLIST is that you can't see how folks are doing in the moment. For myself, I can report that on Monday, some nice doctors at John's Hopkins Medical Center gave me a new cornea for my right eye. The good news is that I will probably be able to have the use of that eye when things heal. The bad news is that right at the moment it feels like somebody stuck a hot poker in my eye which makes seeing quite difficult and tends to put an edge on things emotionally. So forgive me if I sounded short. It was not intentional.
