Another Media "Star" Passed

Thomas Keating, 25 10 2018

Who?

Keating was probably the most well-known Trappist since Thomas Merton.

Following Merton's lead, Keating continued the dialogue between West and East, in his case Christianity and Zen Buddhism.

Keating, along with M. Basil Pennington and William Meninger, promoted 'Centering Prayer' as a method of Christian meditation.

Although centering prayer has its critics (including me — no surprises there), it has wide acceptance in the Christian community.

His creative efforts were an integral part of my childhood and were still enjoyed in my adult life.
 
I don't think I missed one single episode of "Hee Haw" - Mom had bought an 8-track audio recorder to attach to our TV and I was charged with recording the sound track from each and every program. Sold the tapes along with the recorder when she passed many years ago. Roy Clark was a big influence on my decision to take up the guitar. Never quite got to his level of expertise though. Man I tell you, it hits hard when the heroes of ones youth pass....:(
 
George Herbert Walker Bush passed away at the tender age of 94.

I don't think that I need to explain who he was.

At least he's with his late wife, Barbara, and not suffering anymore.

I'm surprised he made it this long after all of his recent health struggles. And am also glad he is no longer suffering.
