US Postage Paid Lake Forest, IL 60045 Permit No. 153 Or Current Resident Mission Statement The Mission of Dickinson Hall is to offer adults educational, social and cultural opportunities as well as services fostering independence, involvement and continued personal growth, in a welcoming and dynamic environment. Dickinson Hall Lake Forest-Lake Bluff Senior Center 100 East Old Mill Road Lake Forest, IL 60045 847.234.2209 Fax 847.615.3526 www.dickinsonhall.com From the Manager: Staff I nurture a growing interest in what I see as the parallels between spirituality and science. I think our forebears did us a great disservice by cleaving a wedge between what we find meaningful in our existence, and knowledge about the tangible reality of our existence. Humans have been around for thousands of years, but we are just beginning to tap the quantifiable reality of our life together. Patty Jenkins Manager TBD Program Coordinator Sherry Miller Administrative Assistant/ Transportation Coordinator Janet Fryer Senior Advocate Sue Suhling Program Assistant Senior Resources Commission Steven Potsic Chairperson Nancy Carey Sally Kelly Tom Sullivan LF-LB Senior Citizens Foundation Les Hammar Jim Bauer President Tom Grant Steven Ballen Lloyd Hood Treasurer Bob Karlblom Margaret Lindman Howard Kerr Exec. VP Public Relations Diane Chikos Foundation Office Jim Blanda Mary Jo Davis Pat Kurschner Roger Mohr Steven Potsic Donna Slayton Dawn Weston I was listening to a radio program from NPR’s Krista Tippett on my way to work recently. She was interviewing Dr. Mario Livio, a senior astrophysicist at the Hubble Space Telescope Science Institute. Dr. Livio noted that we used to think Earth was the center of the solar system. Once people (very) grudgingly accepted we were not the center of the solar system, they insisted we must be the center of the galaxy. Long story short, Earth and its life forms are not the physical center of anything. Dr. Livio continued: “Our physical existence has become more and more miniscule. But our minds somehow manage to get around all of this. All of these things are discoveries that we made…[Even as we realize our physical existence] as smaller and smaller, our minds become more important. Our minds expand at the same rate as our discoveries of the universe.” The process of aging is often experienced as a series of physical diminishments. We can be fooled into thinking that as our bodies diminish, we do too. But the universe brings us a resounding hope: even as our physical existence becomes relatively smaller, who we really are—our deepest essence—expands and will continue to expand, farther than our imagination can carry us.
