After my first psychedelic experience as an undergraduate at UC Berkeley, I tried to explain the magic of what I had seen and felt—the brilliant colors, the sense of life, connection, and movement in all living things. A much deeper ocean of love than I had ever felt, as if my heart were being torn open by light beams of compassion and empathy. No matter how I tried, I couldn’t do it justice.
Then I found the Greys. And I started crying.
I felt that same rush of electricity move through my heart. I didn’t have to explain it anymore. I could simply give people their art.
This weekend at Imaginarium has been an absolute joy—learning alongside and connecting with such brilliant minds and open hearts. The cherry on top was surprise sketching Kayla and me while we were presenting our couples work—an unexpected, deeply meaningful moment I’ll always hold dear.
Alex and Allyson Grey have been together for over 50 years and still sit close and hold each other, make meaningful eye contact, and share space with such tenderness and presence. May we all aspire to love with that kind of mindful attention throughout our lives.
Thank you, Alex and Allyson, for your profound contributions to my life. I carry so much grateful and love for both of you.
