I...I'm just reading this for the first time. I've thought of Pearl many times since I graduated from Naropa in 1992.<br /><br />Pearl was extremely kind to me. I had a terrible breakup with an abusive boyfriend, with whom I lived. Pearl cleared out her small meditation room so I could stay with her for a week or two while I found another place to live.<br /><br />She was also extremely wise when I brought to her a complaint from another female student about a sexual assault by a visiting writer during the summer writing program. She handled the situation perfectly.<br /><br />I loved Pearl.

I tried that number, got no answer. Have wondered so many times where she was. We were good friends in Natchitoches LA, in the 1968-1973, roughly, time frame. My children (Peter and Stephanie) and I came to visit in Vermont about July 1982.<br />Goodby to Pearl. She was such a special person, authentic and caring and deep. She remained a beacon in my life.<br /><br />Margaret Land margaret.land@gmail.comUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12489119041603911236noreply@blogger.com
