Subject: [IAGP:PSYCHODRAMA] A response for a grieving community from an
attenedee

February 13, 2007

Dear Connie,

I can hardly believe that some people are questioning the appropriateness of
sharing the details of the time we had with Clare during our Souldrama
experience. That time is a gift and a treasure to be shared by all who loved
Clare and had the privilege of being in her presence, not just by those who
were present during that time in January. 

I think that letting people in the community know about the beautiful
Souldrama time is like family members sharing with respectful and loving
reverence with those who may not have been present during the final
experiences of a dear one's life. I am saddened to learn that someone is
making all of this as focus instead of remembering Clare without --even
unintentionally--causing any division. I think you have handled the whole
controversy extremely well, and the tone of your communications has been
impeccable, in my opinion. 

Sometimes I think "political correctness" is extremely divisive. In an
attempt, however well intentioned, to make sure perceived standards are
upheld, people who take upon themselves the job of regulating what is
appropriate and what is not can end up marginalizing those who have done
nothing but follow their hearts and their consciences. It is clear to me
that Clare was not all all proprietary about the stage or about what we all
did there to honor her and offer loving energy to her during her visit to
our group. It was a shared, open time. One would think that those not
present would be comforted to know that Clare received this gift during the
final days of her life. How much better to have had the ceremony while she
was with us and could receive the thanks of so many present who represented
multitudes of absent ones. Everything was given without ego, with deep
humility. Sharing the comfort we offered Clare with others comes from the
same place of humility and loving kindness.

I hope you will not let the comments of others disturb your peace. Like
Clare, you are a shining light of loving compassion.

Love,
