“ Aya’s ability to listen, hear, all rooted in presence and deep attention, set a new bar for me as to how we humans could aspire to interact, not only to (re)solve conflicts, but on a day to day basis. A new vision of “conscious relating” was midwifed into existence by Aya. There are mirrors that reflect your image better than your own sight could perceive it, if you could stand beside yourself and watch-especially if the heart is cloudy. Aya is such a mirror, which remains an inspiration and a model for me. I am grateful that her soul dwells in the same age as I happen to be visiting here. ”
