Hi, Julia. I’m John Mintz, a student of the prophet called Rav Jericho Vincent, & a TotS member; a subscriber of yours. A married father w a daughter your age, retired professional guy outside DC. m.s. for 18 yrs. You’re a gorgeous writer. Dancing w Grief, the hanged man. In every line, I get you & your recovery, cuz I’ve been in all your places. I’m so sorry you’re dealing w vision challenges. Mine is intense dizziness, no pause for 18 yrs, to now. Six years ago, via breathing, guided meditation, cannabis & etc, I … well, I healed myself. Dizziness is fun now. I dance with it. Other healings, openings. As you said, “a change in perspective” can lead to transformation. & you’re healing yourself … w incredible music! Hey, I’m coming to TotS’s Oct 11 havdalah, and hope to meet you, maybe after. I won’t get you out of your DJ vision zone. I’ll be the one ecstatically dancing while sometimes holding onto a chair.

Hi John! So nice to meet you, and thank you so much for reading and your kind words. I’m always so glad when someone can connect to my writing in this way but I’m sorry for everything you’ve been through! The dizziness sounds awful. I love that you can dance with it :) but yes I’m such a believer in taking these hard challenges and seeing what transformations they can lead us towards. But yes I’ll be djing the Sukkot event on oct 11th! Can’t wait to see you there.
