Thank you… a memorial to Lisa

To my dearest sister and beloved friend, now gone.
Thank you for your love and care and sweet, gentle friendship.
Thank you for sharing your hard-earned wisdom.
Thank you for taking me along your journeys to the far reaches of the planet on your healing quests.
Thank you for introducing me to plant medicines.
Thank you for helping release me from the shackles of old stories and arcanine propagandist fears about psychedelics.
Thank you for having the audacity and courage and inner knowing to look to sacred plants to heal what ailed you.
Thank you for opening my mind to the deeply healing and sacred nature of plant medicines.
Thank you for connecting me to the toad.
Thank you for paving the way for my own journey work in Peru… in Costa Rica…in Jamaica…here.
I can still picture the crinkle of your bright blue eyes that lit up with your smile.
My life will never be quite the same without you… and it would never have been quite THIS without you bravely paving the way…. and inviting me to follow in your beautiful, gentle way.

Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
