I will remember Dante as an artist, a spiritualist and the writer of his own story. Our first meeting was at Brown Bear studio and we spoke of many things that day; art, poetry, philosophy. 

The next few times we saw eachother there was less language between us. However, the connection was still there. I remember seeing Dante at One-eyed studio where the only exchange we had was him asking where the bathroom was. Shortly after I directed him I went to the bathroom and found a copy of “the alchemist”. 

Although I cannot prove this was his copy it was certainly left in a position where it was intended for someone to find it and enjoy it themselves. 

Whenever I think of Dante I will think of him as being on his own alchemists journey. I believe in my heart of hearts this transition is a part of that journey. Fly high angel ❤️🌀🔥🍀

Dante was a light that shone so brilliantly through his eyes, his smile, his music, his art, his prophetic riddling…. and in his presence there was such a strong gentle wisdom kindness and a profound sort of divine peace….a knowing… 

I have joyful memories of him at the art salons especially, where he was free,  open and authentic and his soul was received with love and appreciation. Sending love to Dante right now, I feel so strongly that he is received with the pure love of everything that is, and his being will continue to resonate here with everyone who knew him. 

Big big big hugs, condolences and love to the whole family for this ineffable loss. You are all incredible and the circle of support I have witnessed is so beautiful and powerful…and that the whole extended community will join in the healing and support.
