Thank you all,
Mum is in a stable but critical condition. She is well loved in her home town and the nurses at the hospital are devoted to her care. Mum is speaking and she has us chuckling at her wit. Tests today indicate a severe stroke with substantial damage. It seems unlikely that she will return to her home.
Both sis and I appreciate the encouraging voices of this place. We are testy to be sure. Still you seem able to put up with us. Sometimes even appreciating our insights and commitments. Our practice of care comes from mum. Our passion for setting things right comes from dad.
With great gratitude I am able to say that Barbara appears to be out of the woods. All her vital signs are in the acceptable range. She is diligent regarding diet and exercise.
Will stay in touch lightly as the days move us forward.

I love this image and the photo."She has always been a breathtaking mosaic of the battles she’s won"
@monk - my heart is with you too - did not realize you and Geofee share that divine connection.
Glad to read that mom is able to communicate ... a gift for sure at this time. Blessings all.

Hi,
Have had a couple of very nice days. Lots of family contact. Remembering stories of days gone by. Appreciating the influence mother had in the formation of our distinctive characters. While each of us is very different, at the core there is the ubiquitous presence of kindness.
Here is my key reason for letting go of "core consensus":
Here is a phrase I have valued for a good number of years: "Diversity is giving birth to a word and it will be expressed as unity."

This has had me thinking:
A good clarification of my ambiguous comparison of our experience here the experience of the apostles. Rethinking leads me to say we are persons in diverse locations, with diverse perspectives and diverse reasons for being here. This makes us more like the folk who were gathered into the way of life by a persuasive witness. Over time their divisive disparity being eclipsed by a unitive solidarity. That solidarity producing effective public witness.
Here is a phrase I have valued for a good number of years: "Diversity is giving birth to a word and it will be expressed as unity."

Had lunch at a pub yesterday with two renegade believers in the field of science, scepticism and disbelief in a fixed idealism (know'stick god) under which umbrella they were ordinance-'d! Their weapons ... new and missive words from the unknown and unspeakable surroundings (the environment)? A flowing comprehension ...
Tis a cyclic thing like the divine ... a bi-cycle that comes back at yah no matter what ... like two wheels of easy Kills Chariot. As one ages one ponders how we got run over so many times by determinate hard cases ... providing a view from the other side of the wheels rim ... abstract edge in the myth?
Some say the myth paints the rim as a dark horse in the running ... this is mentioned in the Red Haired Stranger that you can shift genre ... and have to same outcome ... someone is knocked out by excess passion? Thus they imagine alternate states ... counterintelligence?
Then some pubs have peanut shells all over the floor to soak up all the tears from them in the cups ... brassiere? A place with tin ears for reflection ... or possibly Gabrielle with a horn ... reserved for the blind and deaf of spirit of sol ... terrible spot to be in ... unless you've arranged for a friend after the last Dan's ... in Celtic regions this is danous ... a peculiar word that could be a dingo down under ... and thus dog the AD (overhead)!
So much to learn from aboriginal word ... like from the Shamsis and Chamois ... polish-d'type people with a shine for the unknown god ... in Nordic realm denied Samis! There's even an unknown connection between haida gai and Kamchatka ... some fixed Christian scientist would deny any unknowns ...
Resolution: don't tell the authorities anything that they believe would corrupt institution and stability ... allow them their own Sur prizes with the nemesis ... that come down defined by "v" ... sometimes representing the partisan psyche ... a downer once you conjure it ... conjugation?

Demonym ... an alternate to synonyms from the state of mind? We couldn't have things of soul in reality ... could we?
These could cause butterfly effects ... metamorphosis ... change, alteration and all that dizzying crap, verti goose!
Words ... damned as god's offering ... tis a grace (a' given)! What can one take from that?
Normally; not much ... thus lighter thoughts are almost ethereal ... kind of out of reach of the heavier hands ...

Denomym as a word for people from a far away spot:
--- a proper noun used to denote the natives or inhabitants of a particular country, state, city, etc
Could such things be synthesized? Far from how many people would digest and process thoughts!--- a proper noun used to denote the natives or inhabitants of a particular country, state, city, etc

WC2 creates disciples in the sharing of the common human experience
not that we in all things that we all have 2 share all the same values, filters, BS, semantic gloss, reality tunnels, overton windows, advantages, disadvantages, vantages...
not all systems of governance etc will allow 4 the above; some still don't believe that people should b allowed to believe what they want to...
so here we are, arriving at this point organically, evolutionarily, naturally; those who didn't fit in left (they were maladapted to our environment). our various ideas competed, naturally, (with a few hiccups along the way)
we r all unique snowflakes
amen
awoman

Hi,
It has been a good week of remembering and celebrating mum. This carried over into Sunday morning. The talk below begins with some indications of who mother was and how she inspired and encouraged me and my siblings. It goes on to notice that in the Biblical tradition woman play a key role in the renewing of human hope where times seem set to come undone through the abuse of power. Then suggests that Jesus was more like a mother than a father in his day. Not one who wanted to be served but one who wanted to serve. Here are my out loud thoughts:

Hi,
Soon two weeks since mum's stroke. She has been admitted to rehab in Steinbach. A place where she will get good care. She is sitting up and working at eating solid food. A challenge with her left side fully incapacitated. Her spirit is positive and her memory and voice are working well. Seems there is a small window of hope for recovery of some personal resources and abilities. With appreciation of support from all our relations.
