Support Glenda and David-Michael's Journey

Dear Community, Friends and Family,

Glenda and David-Michael are in need of your support.

The last two months has marked a turning point in David-Michael’s condition with an illness he has been navigating for quite some years.

Glenda is now fully engaged in caring for and accompanying David-Michael in his life transition, and taking up the changes in their life together. For the time being this means that she is no longer seeing patients in her practice and has relinquished this source of steady income.

As a community we can help to lighten the financial burden of basic bills, hospice care and impending expenses, and support Glenda, David-Michael and family in holding the sacred space needed to be with one another in this time.

Your contribution however big or small is most gratefully received!

With many heartfelt thanks!

God’s Grandeur

The world is charged with the

grandeur of God.

It will flame out like shining from

shook foil;

It gathers to a greatness like the

ooze of oil

Crushed. Why do men then now not

reck his rod?

Generations have trod, have trod,

have trod;

And all is seared with trade;

bleared, smeared with toil;

And wears man’s smudge and

shares man’s smell; the soil

Is bare now, nor can foot feel, being

shod.

And for all this, nature is never

spent;

There lives the dearest freshness

deep down things;

And though the last lights off the

black West went

Oh, morning, at the brown brink

eastward, springs —

Because the Holy Ghost over the

bent

World broods with warm breast

and with ah! bright wings.

-Gerard Manley Hopkins
