As my breakout session hostess, she had a strong yet gentle spirit which lit up the room. She will be greatly missed!

Although I did not know Bridget for long, I will always remember her beautiful way of being in the world, invested in being true to herself and to others' well-being and development.

No time to stand beneath the boughs And stare as long as sheep or cows. No time to see, in broad dayligfht, Streams full of stars, like skies at night. No time to turn at Beauty's glance, And watch her feet, how they can dance. No time to wait till her mouth can Enrich that smile her eyes began. A poor life this if, full of care, We have no time to stand and stare. All for now, Julie With Carmen’s words of greetig ‘The Spring’ and Ann Strongs prose of being in our authentic space, I offer the words of the poet William Henry Davies:

What is this life so full of care
We have no time to stand and stare.

No time to stand beneath the boughs
And stare as long as sheep or cows.

No time to see, in broad dayligfht,
Streams full of stars, like skies at night.

No time to turn at Beauty’s glance,
And watch her feet, how they can dance.

No time to wait till her mouth can
Enrich that smile her eyes began.

A poor life this if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.

All for now,

Julie
