A rainbow of Assembly children during children's time on Pentecost Sunday.
 During second hour on Pentecost, we celebrated Heidi's years of pastoring at Assembly. Carmen Horst, one of our interim pastors, told of being invited, along with other friends, to send a bead as a way of accompanying  Heidi as she gave birth to her first child. We were invited to present Heidi with a bead and a written blessing as part of this celebration. These were later strung together as a gift for Heidi and the family.

The cycle of life and death -- moss and lichen in a decaying log.

The cycle of life -- tadpoles.
I posted about seeing tadpoles at the Calendar Garden in late April. Heidi told me later she immediately took the boys out to see.

The cycle of life -- empty chrysalis cases on the crumpled leaf and a bright monarch butterfly in flight.

A candle for those Heidi leaves behind. That's a hazelnut on the base, to remind me of the words Julian of Norwich heard Christ say:
    All shall be well, and all shall be well,
        and all manner of thing shall be well.

Thank you for these entries on Heidi. I read all of them and it helped me experience some of her last days through your words and pictures. Beautiful images.
