And I Cried...

Jason does not speak to me because I speak out against war. I use my experience as a mother of a wounded soldier as the basis for theological reflection for peace. I received this email a short while ago and was reduced to tears. Liz McAllister from Jonah House told me/warned me "Do not count the cost." A broken relationship with my only son is a tremendous cost yet I cannot be silent. That is why I am getting a divorce, my relationship with Dow silenced my yearnings for peace, my speaking out, my actions for peace. I was lost in the dark web of depression and self-negation of all values I said I held dear.

Katy,
Thanks for your prophetic words...They were so powerful. For many, your words were the ones that really reached and touched them last week..Hope that the 'fates' have you coming to Assisi in DC...Peace, Jack

Dear Jack, Great being with you last Saturday.

I was thinking about your offer of reimbursement. Please give an amount your group is comfortable with to the National Pax Christi in my name.
Thanks,
Katy
