Kathy McKenna
In institutions, there are certain people who, while not
managers, are leaders and hold the organization together. Kathy McKenna was
that person for L. R. Flynn Elementary. She started her teaching career at
Patrick Henry and moved to then LeConte, where she taught for some 30 years.
Kathy was the consummate professional and personable
colleague. She would arrive early, 7:00ish and leave late into the day. She was
involved in leadership initiatives and new principals were unwise not to
consult her. But she knew the importance of balance and going home to recharge.
Often I was at school until 6:00 and when the Angelus bells at St. Anthony’s
would chime, she would shoo me out to go home, “Hector, that is the Angelus.
Time to go home.” Organized she would have her list of things to do and I
learned from her to put items not to forget (papers, books, etc) in the doorway.
But she was a personable friend. she would reach out to
everyone to make them feel at home. Fun-loving, she would participate in after
school gatherings and socialize, because it was important to balance work with fun
and get to know your colleagues in places other than work.
Thank you for all those years of being supportive colleague
across the hall and for being a model of how to live life fully. I will miss
you my friend.

Beyond Belief
Beyond Belief 100 Years of the Spiritual in Modern Art, jointly organized by the Contemporary Jewish Museum
and the SF Modern Art Museum, was a small exhibit of of how spirituality has
manifested itself in modern and contemporary art. Humans, since painting on
walls, have tried to make manifest in various ways the ineffable reality of
spirituality, as if to punctuate the blessedness of being alive and create
meaning. As a person of faith, I thought the show was not as expansive has the
themes articulated in the exhibition. Regardless it did have works that invited
contemplation (Mark Rothko) and reflection. But what I appreciated more than
the art was the ideas and questions it posed and challenged me. How do you
create meaning? How do you seek solace in the face of loss?

I grew up Catholic and have been studying religion my whole
life. I’ve secretly felt that all my art at some level came from that place.

The angel is a very traditional idea, but it never seems to
lose its meaning, because it symbolizes a connection between spirit and
matter…. The angel is a dark optimism in the midst of pessimism.

Like art, religion has been an attempt to find meaning and
value in life, despite the suffering that flesh is heir to.
