Happy World Quaker Day - Resources and News

Hello! I have been busy and have been unable to put things up that people want to share with the group. So here they are.

I failed to get word out to the World Quaker Day people to let them know that we are here, and we are World Quakers. I could do a lot more to publicize and spread the word, but I have my hands full as it is.

First, Maurine says "My spirit is strong but my body is weak." This is her reason for not attending recently. That, and she is involved in other Quaker things that leave her tired by 6:00 PM Mountain time (it is later in Illinois, and still later in the east). By the way she has shared her Jonathan Plummer lecture here:

Miriam shares an Indigo girls song that she was talking about:
Closer to Fine

Barbara shares the following:

The 6 hour, 5 CD set I have been listening to and studying intently for more than a year is published by Audio Literature, and is a translation of French theologian Jean-Yves Leloup's work, read by and with a forward by the wonderful American philosopher Jacob Needleman. One of my interested patients shared that he was able to download it to his Kindle very, very inexpensively. I have a cache of about 6 new and unused 5-CD sets snagged off of the internet at one point, ready to share with anyone seriously interested. Aside from most of the Gospel on disc 1, I find most profound discs 2 and 5, for Needleman's commentary alone. Feel free to share.

Barbara is not on the list, but if you leave comments here, I think we can make sure you get them.

She also shares a plum sauce recipe:

Wild Plum Sauce

with the following comments:

"I freeze my yard plums whole (especially after storms and hurricanes) and then make this easy stove top sauce during the rest of the year. If you're not a vegan but vegetarian, it's nice with whitefish and for glazing salmon with, and served with shrimp, dumplings, spring rolls, and more!"

This one is actually for me, since I have just transplanted plum trees, but my plum trees are years from producing. Putting this here will at least help me find it. As you may be aware, I'm not so good with e-mail.

Daniel shares this YouTube:

Purple America, We need to talk

And finally, this video is for World Quaker Day, shared by Maurine:

How Many Quakers are there in the World? (And Where are They?)

I am still pulling things off my e-mail. More to come....

Peace in the New Year

I put my feeling about illuminaria (below) here , but the most important thing to say is, it's not really Quakerly, nor is it related to...
