| MORGAN'S MOMENT |
The first people here
called the mountain “God”…
then called it “Tahoma.”
the white man called it “Rainier.” |
From ancients to moderns
high places are holy…
home of the gods
places to experience the Mystery. |
“I lift up my eyes unto
the hills…”
as Moses went to Sinai
and Jesus went to the Mount
so we go to Rainier. |
Our “holy mountains” are
the Olympics…
we look for them at dawn
rest on them all day
watch sunset over them at night. |
All around the world
those who “summer”
look over lakes, rivers and mountains
and call them “holy.” |
Wherever our souls are lifted
and spirits raised to wonder
it is in our genes to say
“this is a holy place.” |
How good to think
that humans everywhere
can lift up their eyes
and have a vision of “God.”
— Art Morgan

| COMMUNICATION |
| We are receiving summer
e-mail at 3 addresses. |
a-morgan@peak.org
morgan-a@juno.com
jmorgan93@juno.com
|
| The first two addresses
go to both of us. The last address is for those who wish to reach Jean
personally. We took a Juno account due to long distance charges in using
our PEAK account from here. |
| We check e-mail daily and
try to respond promptly. It has been helpful in planning weddings long
distance as well as keeping up on business and other matters. |

| SUMMER EVENTS |
|
| I know…we promised we would
post a blue sheet every couple of weeks. It just didn’t get done. Apologies
to those of you who check our Web Page and find nothing new. |
|
| First, in response
to the many e-mails (which I have tried to answer), I’m feeling fine. The
only difference between having PC and not having it—in most cases—is that
you know it. Many, many walk around with it their whole lives and never
feel a thing. Most don’t die of it. But it is a definite mind-filler, like
any of the afflictions various ones have. Thank you for interest, but I’m
feeling great and doing what I’ve always done. |
| Second, summer is
rolling right along. It’s a sample of the way life is. We’re more than
half way through with many things yet not done and many people not yet
seen. We have enjoyed visits from most of our grandchildren (some more
than once), our daughters, two of Jean’s brothers, one of my brothers and
wife from Florida, Paul and Mary, George Tolman from Tucson and maybe others.
We expect more will come in August. |
|
| Third, both Paul
and I have summer weddings. Paul has quite a few, plus a number of wedding
photo jobs. He’s also been singing at some funerals. I go to Lake Oswego
for an early August wedding for Kortni Kauffman. My only other wedding
is for Vickie Nelsen, a neighbor here at the beach. I am also in touch
with a number of folks who are going through troubles far greater than
my own. |
|
| Fourth, don’t expect
reports of many great books read (although I am recommending “God’s
Funeral” by A.N. Wilson to clergy). |
