I want to appreciate our friends for being with us in a health crisis for Susan that we are currently undergoing. Neda Doany and Sue O’Kieffe have both made creations in support of Susan Elkin. Many others have sent healing energy and prayers. We are both greatly appreciative of all your help!!

The OTHER
Easily dismissed
Feared or loathed
Unknown entity
Dissected
Rejected
Ignored
Boxed and
Labelled
As other or worse

I am the other
I speak your language
But you don’t know mine

Open your eyes
For you are
also
the
Other
To
me.

Dear Neda, thank you so much for this moving image and incredible poem that you have created to reflect and support us through what we are dealing with! Neda’s blog is Papiers Collés (this is linked to this post). Papiers Collés is a very interesting blog I visit every day. Sue’s inspiring mandalas always delight me!

Thank you so much, Sue for your beautiful mandala and the incredible description on of this mandala on your blog, Sacred Circle Mandalas. I also visit Sue’s blog every day and here is a link to her inspiring post.

This kind of support from friends who were strangers not long ago speaks to the power of the blogosphere! Others have been extremely kind also … We can certainly continue to use healing energy and prayers that any of you wish to send our way. Thank you again!
