The Dawn Jogger is certain the celebration of the male DJ’s life began in reality when she first set foot in London a few days ago, but it has certainly accelerated since her arrival with friend Kent in Ameungy/Taize yesterday.

Today began her day with the male DJ would have begun, with the morning service at Taize, then breakfast followed by a good walk around the surrounding countryside. Shortly before noon, local and vacationing friends along with Taize brother John (not pictured) gathered for a short service of remembrance and some officially sanctioned ash scattering near a small shrine just down the hill a bit from the main church at Taize.

Like others, she can’t quite believe it’s been a year. She is quite sure the male DJ would be much pleased by today’s events, including the longish lunch with good local French wine. How loved and supported she feels but friends near and far today…
