Testimonials

Dear Richard,
I just wanted you to know how much I appreciate your understanding and TLC when I needed it most. It's a comfort to know you are still there and that all I have to do is call. My best to you in your practice. I've written this poem for you.

Sincerely,
Carole H.

Fly Again
A tired bird with broken wing,
Shot down by life, unable to sing.
Fallen from sky, wounded in spirit
Alone, afraid, unable to bear it.

What will happen to me? I cried.
How will I live? Will I even survive?
My life-song lies silent and nearly dead.
Why try to go on? I almost said.

Tender hands touched me. Yes, someone cared.
In time wing healed and bone repaired.
But soul and heart show scars of pain
Afraid to risk, will I fly again?

It's safer to live in a protected cage.
Bars of self-doubt, fear and age
Can stifle courage to unfold wing
And offer excuses for what might have been.

All winter long my friend cared for me
We talked deep words of life's destiny
Just as birds are meant to glide,
Self-love is needed to survive.

Then one day warm, in early Spring
A breeze came up and caught my wing.
Oh no, not yet - I'm not ready to fly
If I crash again, I'll surely die.

My friend shouted fly, fly you must
Spread both wings, in yourself trust
Let in the warmth of truth and light
Soar with eagles, know your might.

As I discovered peace once more
It stirred the music at my core.
My song burst forth in joyous shout -
I LIKE ME!! (That's what it's all about.)"
