After a lifetime of monumental charity, having given away over 100 million <br />of the proceeds from his and his wife Jo Anne Woodward's food business, having <br />been a peace activist all his life, a film actor who entertained billions, <br />a vegetarian for reasons of nonviolence, Paul Newman has slipped <br />from the glove of his body. He loved all. He <br />was loved by all. <br /> <br />As the world contemplates Wall St greed and Wall St pawns <br />in the 2 major political parties, it is inspiring to remember a soul <br />who sought not how to take but how to give. <br /> <br />Now he is unencumbered by time or space, or by the limits of the body, <br />in his mission of love. <br />************ <br /> <br />(One of Paul Newman's many recipients was the Nature <br />Conservancy to which he contributed both time and money. <br />Nature Conservancy was taken over by Henry Paulson, <br />who turned the wilderness shrines Newman loved into <br />cattle concentration camps.) <br /> <br /> <br />(Like Jonathan Winters and unelected Republican president <br />Rutherford B Hayes, Paul Newman was a graduate of Kenyon <br />College in Gambier, Ohio, which in 2004 was (not Hawaii) <br />the last place in the US to vote, because of the Republican <br />Party's plan to underman (underperson) and undermachine <br />the polls in the majority Democrat state) <br /> <br />(The Verdict is the writer's favorite of the Newman movies she's seen.)<br /><br />O Anna Niemus<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/paul-newman-leaves-for-god/
