"Please let their eyes open in the morning
not to the despair of feeling lost at sea,
but to the familiar play of sunlight
in the leaves outside the window,
the solid sense that she is safe, he is safe, they are
safe
on the firm ground of home."
- from an adaptation of A Prayer for My Mother by Rick Kempa
My heart and my thoughts are with all those afflicted with and affected by Alzheimer's Disease. Today's quote is a prayer for them and for us all.
May we too awake not to despair or feeling lost at sea, but to hope, joy, and beauty, with appreciation for sunlight, trees, and leaves - life's simple and profound pleasures.
And
may we accept one another.
With love,
Charlene
