Guest guest Posted December 9, 2007 Report Share Posted December 9, 2007 John Logan, Lotusaware, left this life on December 6, 2007. I know that he posted here and had great respect for this sangha. He was a great spiritual support to me and to many others. His level of character and depth of insight was deepened by his diagnosis of throat cancer some years ago. He was able to live with purpose, making every day count. Let us bow to such a great spirit and offer prayers for his family.

Guest guest Posted December 9, 2007 Report Share Posted December 9, 2007 Vicki, thank you so much for letting us know. John Logan was, indeed, a very great spirit, and a kind and helpful, sensitive friend to many in this sangha and many, many, beyond it.

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 Oh my goodness Vicki. This news caught me by surprise. John was one of the pillars of the sangha for so many years. His warmth, wisdom, and genuine caring was always shining in his words and e-mails. There was a strong heart to heart connection between us. E-mails bypass age, gender, ethnicity, and the words communicate without hindrance. John's words were like that. They went straight to the heart. His persona was clear. His suffering had left him free from illusions and yet full of compassion. He shared freely from his experiences and spiritual insight. We were so fortunate to have this sage here with us. He knew that I felt like this and had immense respect for him. I am so full of gratitude that John spent some time with us. I did not know that his body was in the last stages here. I will miss John dearly. Vicki, has there been a memorial service for John. Please pass on any information that you have. I would like to collect some of John's letters and writings and put them up. Thank you sister Vicki for letting us know. It is so much appreciated. I have some tears but also am happy for John that his bodily suffering is over. John's presence was always in the sangha. Even when he did not post, I knew he was reading and remained connected with us. He was protective of the sangha and offered his love here. I will miss John but his being will always be with us. Namaste and love to all Harsha , " Vicki Woodyard " <vicki wrote: > > John Logan, Lotusaware, left this life on December 6, 2007. I know > that he posted here and had great respect for this sangha.

What is interesting is that as a personality, John was very dignified. Now in his death, the great heart warms us at its fire. We mustn't let our tears put it out. > > > > , Jill Eggers <eggersj@> wrote: > > > > Vicki, thank you so much for letting us know.
