La Luce, remembering in our hearts.

Its hard to let go of the physical presence and connection of my first helper and guide along the Way of starting Light the Way, my practice as a Registered Psychotherapist. La Luce was with me through it all, from mid point of my undergrad, through graduate school, trainings, and of course sitting in through years of our virtual sessions together. La Luce's magical presence of compassion, genuineness, and wisdom was felt by all. We will miss you friend, healer and guide.

Over the last few days while grieving, the lyrics of one song just won't leave me so I will shares some of those lines that seem to me to speak La Luce;

"...

She's living in a world and its on fire

Filled with catastrophe

But she knows she can fly away

Oh oh oh oh oh

She's got both feet on the ground

And she is burnin it down

Oh oh oh oh oh

She got her head in the clouds

And she is not backing down

This girl is on fire

This girl is on fire

She is walking on fire

This girl is on fire

Looks like a a girl, but she's a flame

So bright, she can burn your eyes

Better look the other way

You can try, but you will never forget her

She's on top of the world

Hottest of the hottest girls, say

...

Everybody stares as she goes by

Cause they can see the flame that's in her eyes

Watch her when she's light up the night

Nobody knows that she's a lonely girl

And it's a lonely world

But she gon let it burn, baby, burn, baby

This girl is on fire (fire, fire).
