It speaks to the very core of Stan's wisdom and what he was trying to tell us all. I love you for taking up the torch of this vision and for doing it so very well. Love, -d Chip,

For that I feel sad. I will have to look to those who knew Stan to see more of him. I have never met Stan in person. For that I feel sad.

You however gave me something very special. You let me stand in front of all and even though it took time, remained present and focused on guiding me through to a place of healing. You knew how deeply my husband's suicide had affected my core. None of this healing would have been possible without Stan. I do feel envy that i never met him but i am a much happier person because of the seed he planted. I have had many moments since his death of contemplation and gratitude which has connected my heart to my hai experiences and the one heart we all are. dear chip,

Like you I didn't get Stan at first. There was something incongruous about the smooth radio voice which should have been on a commercial radio station - not speaking words of love and compassion. It wasn't until i was assisting on one of the HAI workshops and met Stan in person that I truly met him. He treated us all equally, there was no distance of difference between us. The distance I had put between me and Stan were my projections. And also quite valid because heads of organisations rarely conduct themselves in this way. There was no loss of respect for Stan because of this - if anything an increase. Here in the UK Stan is loved both by those of us that knew him and met him, and so many who didn't. Because what Stan gave us was a structure in which we can relate with love, honesty and integrity with others in totally unique ways - which only those who have participated in HAI will understand. Stan has made a tremendous difference to my life and he is a role model for me of how a man, a father, and leader can be. love Claire Dear Chip

He kissed my scars and asked me not to try and stop crying because my tears wash us clean. Stan held me in the pool in Maui and wanted to know all the wonderful details of a new love and shared my "new relationship" excitement. Stan's love was one of honor, respect and given with no strings. I choose love to be the guiding force in my life because that's what Stan would ask me all the time, "Where is the love?" Thanks for your words, Chip, my dad and mom are still "on the hook", and I will sit with that and see what comes up for me. It is a burden. Maybe it's time to set them free. I'll have a chat with Stan. peace and love, nanc Stan loved me up when I wasn’t loving myself. He kissed my scars and asked me not to try and stop crying because my tears wash us clean.

He was a man who changed hearts and lives of people all across the world, and I was blessed to travel with him and experience him doing his magic. I loved watching your relationship with him, how you loved and cared for him in a very special way, how he trusted you as a colleague and a son. Thanks for the tribute, and the memories!

In my eyes, his legacy is the most noble a man can leave. For everyone,

And you, Chip, introduced me to him. And to HAI. And thereby to my wife (still married, now 16 years). And to so many more good people, useful wisdom, good times, love and more. I'm sorry we've all seen so little of each other over the years since. But I appreciate you, Stan, and the HAI folks no less. Peace and love on you all. Doc Stan, of course, changed my life.
