If today you can awaken to the miracles of blood and bone
and feel grateful for a body that heals itself,
You also retain the potential to restore the magnificence of your
original genetic blueprint.
Drink softly from the deepest heart of the Divine!
Feel the heat, spreading, working its way into the inner core of your body,
generating warming oozing energy from the sun,
Every strength drawing towards you, gathering, building within you more each day,
Allowing God's omniscient love to pour through.
Radiant light, essence, soul, the life force of being, nourishes,
colors explode into life,
As you dance to the music of the Spheres.


This group poem was inspired by Lisa Mersky. Lisa asked several beloved friends from the support team to offer healing words, then wove them together into this beautiful blessing. It reminds me of Rumi and the spirit of the dervishes. The image is one I shot last December in Cairo. For me it carries the heart of the poem.

thank you for such a beautiful reminder.

from Jon Gordon:


This poem is so appropriate to your own life and the luminous trail that illuminates and attests to where you've been and whom you've touched. Your circle of friends is so startlingly expansive, supportive and loving, in itself it is tribute to how wonderfully your life has influenced, guided and enriched the lives of so many.

And your words following the poem, so brave, honest, eloquent and true. I wanted to pay homage to your courage, and proclaim how uniquely special you are, and what a privilege it is to know and love you - to anyone who reads this. Sweet, fun, individual, creative, open, honest, loving, artistic and much more.
