Chihuly Calms the Soul

Cancer, the one word that scares all of us. And yet, in our lifetime, all of us will be touched by that word. When we are, we look for strength, hope,

guidance and peace. And when we lose a loved one, we look for comfort, understanding and peace.

The Chihuly glass sculpture in the Lokey Stem Cell Building at Stanford is my comfort, my peace. It brings me closer to those I have lost to cancer; my mother, my father and my darling sister.  This is not just an enormous, gorgeous work of art but a living, breathing soul that brings angels together and strengthens the hearts and minds of those who need it most.

How lucky am I, this healing power is in my hometown. Every time I visit, the sculpture takes on new meaning and life. It never looks or feels the same.  At night it glows, during the day it sparkles.  It takes your breath away and simultaneously encourages you to close your eyes and breathe deeply; savoring every moment and emotion.

Thank you Dale Chihuly for giving us this spiritually place of comfort. Thank you Sue McCollum for bringing it here and for all you do to help us to find comfort and peace. Every living thing starts with a seed and this seed was planted by you. You are truly an angel.
