The Theology of Small Things: Liz Brucker, a Friendship and a Life Liz Brucker, left, and me, 1982. “The photograph of us at Mayfair sophomore year is particularly evocative. I was doing things that I love, like folkdancing, and I had my niche at German House. I had good friends. I was working hard in my classes, but it was OK because I liked what I was learning and didn’t worry about the future. Life was filled with music and poetry and fresh things. If I could recapture that feeling that life is good, I would be so happy!” (Liz to the author, 1987) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53c01b74e4b06be54e6efa0c/1608506551013-OHA4TLRBLG87QQ8VK27B/1933-duck-soupB.jpg My Blog - The Theology of Small Things: Liz Brucker, a Friendship and a Life https://www.gail-schechter-consulting.com/my-blog/the-theology-of-small-things-a-guitar-in-hiroshima-bay monthly 0.5 2020-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53c01b74e4b06be54e6efa0c/1596717754243-ZV00CKB9D3R4JGR0Z80D/jaco-aurex-3.jpg My Blog - The Theology of Small Things: A Guitar in Hiroshima Bay https://www.gail-schechter-consulting.com/my-blog/introduction-to-blog-series-the-theology-of-small-things monthly 0.5 2020-08-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53c01b74e4b06be54e6efa0c/1596300723028-A5EM4PRNC4GN2BHELO1P/IMG_2526.JPG My Blog - Introduction to Blog Series: The Theology of Small Things https://www.gail-schechter-consulting.com/my-blog/from-homeland-to-beloved-community-an-american-reckoning monthly 0.5 2019-07-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53c01b74e4b06be54e6efa0c/1562269415466-AGZDJAY4JH9VODH81XE0/Rockwell_DoUntoOthers.jpg My Blog - From Homeland to Beloved Community: An American Reckoning Norman Rockwell, “Golden Rule” (1961) https://www.gail-schechter-consulting.com/my-blog/a-place-where-i-have-community monthly 0.5 2018-11-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53c01b74e4b06be54e6efa0c/1543168341961-R37BESMU046562RIK4DU/Donna+and+Mable.jpg My Blog - “A Place Where I Have Community” Mable, at right, with neighbor Donna.
