Within the last 2 days TPWs, individually
and collectively, have witnessed several styles and types of witnessing.
The most recent was 10 TPWs and 1 husband
completing the Resolution Run on Sunday December 29th 2013.
This run, for most of us, is an annual event. Most went for breakfast. The celebratory witness.
The day before the Resolution Run we
gathered at the cemetery. 2 runners
flashing by us informed us that yes there was black ice but all was well. So
what did we do? We walked. Somehow the contradiction of black ice and all was
well made sense to us. In hindsight it still does. Cognitively, I agree, it is
a contradiction. Well truth be told it is a huge contradiction…..still, in
hindsight, it made sense. The athletic hearsay and the athletic sensory witness.
At breakfast it was mentioned that the
cemetery looked as though it had been through a war. It did. Limbs of trees
were hanging everywhere. The white tree flesh, where limbs of trees had been
torn off, was visible; some of the tree flesh was scattered throughout the
cemetery. Several of us who had walked
for years in the cemetery agreed that this was the first time that we had seen
the cemetery looking so ravaged. The eye-witness.
What also occurred within the last 2
days was Helen giving each person there a DVD. When you watch the TPW DVD Helen created, you
will witness historical photographs. Thank you so much Helen and those who also
provided her the pictures. The historical witnesses.
So witnesses past and present
Three Cheers and Hip Hip Hooray
Watch
out 2014
