i came to AVIV
as a broken mirror––
i could not reflect
very well––
& you could not
see yourselves
very well
in my broken-ness.
now
i am a mostly healed
mirror––
& what i reflect––
i love––
all of you––
my dive-mates––
the staff––
doctors mo, hadanny
cooke & efrati––
the life-transforming concept
of AVIV––
& the healing powers
of pure oxygen.
one of my blessings
as a mirror
is to reflect
light from every
distance––
i will be sending you
light
from wherever
i am––
of course,
i left fragments
of myself
here––
i will be watching––
to make sure
all of you
take care of each
other––
get well
& stay well!
& maybe––
just maybe––
some of you
will become
mirrors
too––
reflecting love
in every part
of your
lives.
