Lyx Ish aka Elizabeth Was spent an all too short life being a
musician, poet, gourd artist, painter, healer, yoga-instructor,
instrument inventor, teacher of improvisation, mother of Liaizon
Wakest, co-founder of Dreamtime Village, of Xexoxial Editions, & gave
lovingly to 100s of people who took her classes or interned under her.
We were partners for 17 years & even after our divorce remained
collaborators. After being diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer a
month ago she passed very quickly thru the final phase of her life
surrounded by friends from all periods of her past. She died
peacefully at 3:40 this afternoon in her home naturally & with
awe-inspiring dignity."
