Brighton Beach<br />
Rosanna Hille writes…<br />
In 2007 I attended one of the many Susila Dharma meeting I have gone to over the years I have been associated<br />
with the humanitarian work of <strong>Subud</strong> members. This meeting was held in Lewes UK and the purpose was to<br />
network, build our capacity and consult with our members on the direction of the international organization.<br />
Hamida Virginia Thomas was newly appointed Executive Director of Susila Dharma International and we were in a<br />
hand-over, transition phase. The meeting was hosted by Pelham House and SD Britain and it was early February<br />
with the earth still sleeping.<br />
For me the winter is a quiet time for reflection and regeneration and the light snow on the hills seen from the<br />
Gardiner's home, the stone damsel waiting patiently for the blossoms in a nook by Pelham House, and the grey<br />
skies all set a peaceful, introspective tone.<br />
After the meeting, I went to Brighton and met with Garrett Thompson, who was then the ISC chairman. We spent a<br />
lovely day wandering around the famous British seaside town discussing <strong>Subud</strong> and its world organizations – where<br />
we had been, where we were going, what might be possible...<br />
Our wandering took us to Brighton Pier, which was almost deserted, and I took this shot of Garrett looking<br />
pensively over Brighton with a still carousel on one side and a Princess on a rearing horse frozen in time on the<br />
other. It reminds me of the still balance I need to maintain when considering what is and what is possible.<br />
