"There are no words (even for me, a writer) to express my deep gratitude, not only for your teaching, your example, but for your person, your being. I don't find much inspiration in the world, typically, or perhaps I should say I find inspiration of the heart in the world, but last night you inspired something far deeper and monumental in me, the possibility of true healing, and through that healing, finding my own unique powers and gifts to offer the world.”
