Dawn Desert Hike in Greg's Memory
On May 25th, about 20 of Greg’s friends and colleagues, gathered together in Tucson Arizona for the Conference on Environmental Conflict Resolution, took a sunrise hike into desert (organized by Cindy Cooke). Among the flowering Saguaro cacti, a lone owl returning from the night’s hunt, and a few early morning hummingbirds, we joined hands in a prayer circle in honor of Greg. After sharing many kind words and reflecting on our own private memories, we were able to reach a consensus that Greg would have loved being with us at this special spot. (Although, we also agreed, it was more likely that he would have arrived after pulling one of his all-nighters rather than rolling out of bed at 4 AM with the rest of us).

Dear Greg,
Fellow Western Washington alum, fellow mediator, fellow seeker... of opportunities to learn and of opportunities to share. Each time we saw one another these last years, I always came away a little stronger, inspired. You have been honest about your pain, and at the same time always communicated a vision of and determination to see your life as more than the difficulties you faced. I know from personal experience in my family what it can mean to be in such pain that the only way out seems to be to pass on from this life. I want you to know that you gave me hope and stand for hope in my eyes, even as you must have suffered so much more than I knew. My commitment, in your name, is to redouble my small efforts to carry on the giving of hope that you expressed for me. My guess is that we all will find ways to acknowledge you, keeping alive your gifts to us by having them continue through us. The place you have gone on to is a mystery to those of us who are left behind, but I trust that you are at peace and that we can all trust in God's love for you and us all. I am so sorry you are gone from us so soon, too soon.
