Good Morning Rod,
Just a note to say that I value your pieces in The Mercury every morning. I hope that they continue as long as I do. There is usually something for me to read to my meditation and bereavement groups. Tuesday September 17 was a very good one, “Reach out in person if you need help.” In my weekly meditation groups I usually pick something relevant to read.
Didn’t I hear that one of your boys has got engaged? If so, congratulations. Lucky girl to become part of your family.
About “The Soul.” Could you please perhaps make one of your articles for The Mercury about the soul for me to read to the bereavement group and discuss?
From you it would make for a good meeting and I would appreciate it very much.
About the group – first Thursday of every month in the boardroom. Not everyone suffering a loss will come but we have about 17 regulars who are still coming after very many years. It is not all Jewish, we are also Christian, Catholic, a Moslem and a Buddhist. Lots of discussion over tea and cookies from the kitchen. The Moslem lady brings kosher biscuits. I always tell them that the soul enters the fetus at conception and stays with the body until it leaves at death and that only the physical body dies. Now I am having someone from each religion to tell us about the soul, one each month. We have had Shlomo from Chabad, to visit, on the Jewish soul and our member Mariam Motala from the Moslem aspect. Before continuing, a member wants to have a meeting about the Magnetic Field. The following month it will be Peter Huston, an Anglican minister who, surprisingly, actually also works at the Holocaust Centre!
With all good wishes and kind regards,
Elaine (name removed)
