My dear Friends
Here in Cambridge, UK, we are having an Indian summer-lovely hot days nearing the end of September. There are many green spaces in this city, one being Parker's Piece, which is at the back of the Regent Hotel. This where I am writing to you and where I spend many happy hours, drinking tea and talking to my friends at reception.
It has been an exceptionally busy week. For those unable to view the latest newsletter of The Little Sisters of Joy on the Blog (a couple of posts ago), I have prepared a printed copy. This is newsletter no 19-the first was done in 2002. With the help of my friends Marie and Rebecca, not to mention Anthony who puts in its proper format with photos, it has been sent round the world to 700 Associates in 23 countries. These people are of all religions and cultures, whom I have met 'along the way' on buses, trains, planes or in the street. I value each one highly and can remember, mostly, where and how I met them.
I have also been beavering away at the second volume of my autobiography. The first book, if you remember, was called The Moving Swan, and covered my life from childhood until I had just co-founded The Little Sisters of Joy in Provence and Cambridge. this new book will cover the years between 1999 and 2009-my link with Canada is a big feature and the title is 'Where the woods meet the water', which is the real meaning in one of the Native Canadian languages for Toronto.
I hope to have it ready for October 2014 and am planning a launch in Lucy Cavendish College, where I studied Hebrew between 1988 and 1992. It will bring back many happy memories.
All being well, I will give a Concert for Peace and Reconciliation on November 6th in a lovely place where I gave a concert in 2006-Robinson College Chapel, with its gorgeous Piper stained glass windows in green and yellow. On the programme also will be Sue Gilmurray, an accomplished singer and songwriter, singing her own Peace songs.She is involved with various Peace groups inside and outside the Anglican Church.
So, much to look forward to!
Shalom for now
