The Get Well Center-Dr. Perry Wolk-Weiss

05/11/2024

Today is the 3rd anniversary of Perry's passing. I am learning so very much about grief and how the brain tries to metabolize it. In Perry's memory I offer one of his poems about Trees. I am living in a place now surrounded by trees which Perry and I always had a strong infinity for. (you can find all his poems on my website.)
TREES
Dancing as the breezes flow.
Solidly rooted in their place, marking time.
Observing all that transpires without judgement.
A sanctuary. Seemingly silent yet speaking in a language all their own.
Providing comfort, shelter, signs of beauty. Mindful and present. Playing their part in the story without wanting anything in return.
But giving back so much.

Hi all, This is Cindy once again with an update. I hope most of you received an email from Paul about access to Perry's poems and an update on my life. I find it so helpful hearing from all of you who have let me know what Dr. Perry meant to you and your families.

During his illness he began writing poems and had wanted to put them into a book. That did not happen, however I have now compiled most of them and you can view them on my website

Please consider his words of deep wisdom a gift for you from him.
I now think it is a strong possibility that he contracted these 2 rare illness's as a result of volunteering shortly after 9-11. He went in to ground zero to adjust and care for the first responders. This is who he was, always willing to help if he could.

Blessings to you all

Perry wrote these poems during his journey with cancer. He planned to put them into a book, so I offer this to you in loving memory of him.
