John Kennedy - Barbara Sinatra Children's Center - Rancho Mirage, CA - Etched in Stone on Waymarking.com

Located on a lawn in front of a sculpture titled "Metamorphosis" and near the Barbara Sinatra Children's Center on the Eisenhower Medical Center campus is a plaque containing an inscription that reads:

"METAMORPHOSIS"

I FEEL THE IMPORTANCE OF SHOWING HOW AN ABUSED CHILD, THROUGH THE LOVING CARE AND HEALING POWER OF THE BARBARA SINATRA CHILDREN'S CENTER, CAN BE GENTLY LED BY THE HAND OUT OF THE DARKNESS OF IMMEASURABLE MISERY TO LEAP FORWARD INTO THE LIGHT OF A NEW DAWN AND ONTO A PATH THAT TRANSCENDS SUFFERING, AND FREES THEM FROM FEAR.

JOHN KENNEDY, FEB '99
DONATED BY CONNIE & DAVID KATZ
