JAYA GURU DEVI ~

May our community of loving thoughts flow to John wherever his soul is traveling now~
May he feel our love and continued support for his journey.

May the disease of depression be left behind in the physical brain and not in his subtle mind that remains.
In this case, he will feel the breath of happiness.

My condolences to his partner Deb. May all support her during this difficult transition.
John is blessed to have experienced Theresa sharing TriYoga from her heart. This gift remains.

Together ‘Let’s Make the World Smile’…….it is much needed….OM

JAYA GURU DEVI

Dear Friends and Family,

Now for a different type of message. One of our TriYoga flow-ers passed on this Tuesday. John and his wife/partner Deb Fisher, who brings flowers to class, have been taking Wednesday evening classes for a while now at TriYoga Bellefonte. John’s last breath was a conscious one of a different sort, in that he took his own life.

John had a hard winter full of depression, I believe, and seemed to be lightening up in recent months. When I asked him about it a while back, he said the spring and early summer greens were helping.

I hope to find an appropriate way to celebrate his being with the larger TYCP community. In the meantime, here is a sweet message from the Bellefonte Art Museum which Jennifer forwarded and which I want like to share with you. I like it that he’s wearing orange in this picture. Some of you may recognize his artwork as the face of Crickfest T-shirts this year.

I will miss his presence in class, his ever-evolvoing/revolving twists, and his recently acquired habit of smiling on the way out the door.

With love and tenderness,
Theresa
