On October 5, a Gathering was held at the Listening Device with a talk about what I have found out thus far regarding the Listening Device and the lives of Louise Taylor and Mel Mann.
After the talk there was a time for those attending to share a story, poem, life event in regards to love and loss. There were many very moving moments. It felt very healing....cleansing. I am sure Louise would have been happy to have people around her Listening Device...a symbol of both profound grief and undying love.
