-Hazel Archer-Ginsberg
At the end of our Holy Nights reading of the Epic of Gilgamesh, Director of Programs Tess Parker announced that Dr. David Gershon had crossed the Threshold.
Interesting to conceive that this amazing individual choose to be reborn into the Spiritual World during the appearance of The asteroid A1 Leonard, the Quadrantids meteor shower, with Venus, Mercury, Jupiter & Saturn speaking with the crescent Moon in the South West after sunset.
I have had the privilege of knowing the good doctor for many years. His dry sense of humor & will-filled enthusiasm never failed to enlighten & inspire me. So many stories…
He was always volunteering me for things. One time sitting in a large circle of colleagues at the Michael Fields Institute, folks were having a hard time communicating, so he starting waving his hands calling for a stop. When he had everyone’s attention, he said: ‘What we need is for Hazel to bring everyone together in a Michaelmas Festival – the farmers & the city folk, the families & Anthro-heads together under the sword & shield of Michael.’ And so for a year we planned together what that could look like. And in 2019 we brought these diverse groups together at Angelic Organics Farm for a big Michaelmas fest – including an amazing ‘Farm to Table’ dinner. This awoke the social artistry that lives so deeply in Farmer John Peterson; & it dove tailed into Chuck Ginsberg & me creating the Family Farm Initiative with the Zinniker Farm.
As an Anthroposophical Doctor David knew how important nutrition is, so he was a big supporter of biodynamics.
“The dead rise and walk about
the eternal fields of thought”.
~From Wendall Berry as an opening quote for a book of remembering.
Dear David, I will rise to meet you in my thinking so that together we can continue to walk in those ‘eternal fields of thought’
Blessings on your Hero’s Journey in the Spiritual World.
