Lyx Ish aka Elizabeth Was spent an all too short life being a musician, poet, gourd artist, painter, healer, yoga-instructor, instrument inventor, teacher of improvisation, mother of Liaizon Wakest, co-founder of Dreamtime Village, of Xexoxial Editions, & gave lovingly to 100s of people who took her classes or interned under her. We were partners for 17 years & even after our divorce remained collaborators. After being diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer a month ago she passed very quickly thru the final phase of her life surrounded by friends from all periods of her past. She died peacefully at 3:40 this afternoon in her home naturally & with awe-inspiring dignity.
from her long poem EVERY LINES OTHER:
When language can flow like the body, breathing out and in and in and out... Angels stand like children words grateful for music and fingers dancing with marker: Language elevates, music ennervates.
