i've been wanting to write a testimonial for zach for sometime now, but each time i try to write one it ends up being so long it goes over a page. its a struggle for me to put in words the wonderful things about zach, cuz each sparkle is so strong in its energy and very different from each other sparkle....so to simplify it without taking away from describing the beauty of the diversity zach is, is a challenge for me.
Zach inspires one to love. he looks you in the eye with a humanizing radiance that can often make me feel like i want to cry, cuz i feel so ok to feel human, to feel happy and sad around him. he strives for emotional honesty and expressing it. to be honest and open about his mistakes. tries to be there with you in awkward times and bring you radiant smiles and eyes filled with inspiration and wild silliness. he pays deep attention to what is happening around him and is generous in the reflection he gives people. hes willing to risk a lot of himself and lose face in order to help himself and people become more in tune with their emotions, both on the light and dark sides. which i feel is a very rare thing to put yourself out there so vulnerably and generousely with your soul. i dont know if ive ever met someone so willing to acknowledge their ... meaning our ... darkness and take the shame out of it by sharing it with the world with a true humaness. a true believer in healing and forgiveness. in transformation. and rising up and opening like a flower. he sees people as they really are, both dark and light, and sees the beauty in encompassing both sides.
i love you zach...thanks for the amount of effort you give to your/our souls..
smooooooooch!!!!

Zachary, Zachary, Zachary!
A few years ago,
you looked deep into my eyes
you said to me:
"jeri-lee, you are a refelection of myself"
we both went into a journey
a journey into some darkness
although slightly different in ourselves
much similar in the end.
Long hiding behind our shadows
we discovered our truth
our truth of ourselves
after forgetting ourselves
but we remembered
i never, until recently
when you came upon me with a return
of something i once gave you
ever realized what it was you really meant.
I looked into your eyes
and i saw myself looking back
but this time with a smile
with light and love
knowing my truth
and accecpting myself.
For I too have come into the light
I thank you Zach, for all that you are,
and for all that you were.
For being a teacher through experience
and i know that i am one in the same.
With high respect, I THANK YOU
Thank you for creating
Thank you for dancing
Thank you for forgiving
Thank you for loving.
much love light and laughter dear Zach,
I can't express in words how happy i am to embark on this new adventure.

Mr. Zachary,
Oh how we have sailed these mysterious seas
walked on water
and felt the breeze
climbed up trees
like old monk:keys
creating doorways through falling leaves
most magikal spirit
at the heart of being
strong sense of faith and true believing
dispelling illusion
behind the curtain leaving;
aliveness with feeling,
blind man seeing.
Zachary Zachary
multifaceted creature,
how deep you can see
Visionary Eagle Teacher
Lead us by example
through process of transformation
step by step patience
and understanding.
Blessed am I for this journey we've shared
extensions of love and kindness-care
at the core of this self
you've touched me there
A jeweled reflection of beauty rare.
