“When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive - to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.”

When I am older

I might not remember

I might get confused

And I might lose my temper

And there may be times

When I don’t know your name

Because it’s been trapped,

Locked away in my brain

And though it will hurt

To think I could forget you

Offer me smiles,

Hold my hand if I’ll let you

And talk of adventures

We had long ago

Show me the photos

Of people I know

Play music we’ve danced to

And songs we have sung

Read me the books I read

When I was young

‘Cause your voice and your words

Might just be the key

That opens the door -

That unlocks it for me

And maybe the music

Will spark tiny embers

Of memories dormant

And I will remember

Your name and your face

And the words to our song

The times and the places

To which I’ve belonged

And it might last moments

Or minutes or more

As the fire sheds light

Through the crack in the door

But when the door closes

And gone are the flames

When you are once more

A stranger again

Just know you’ll have stirred something

Deep down inside

Something familiar

That I recognise

Something that’s real

That’s not stored in my head

But right at the core

Of my heart space instead

Something that’s stirred

By your smiles and your stories

The touch of your hand

And the songs you sing for me

And though I’ll have no words to tell you

Just trust

That deep down inside

I’ll remember

I’m loved

Sending so much love, peace and compassion to anyone dealing with this - either directly or whilst caring for a loved one. Be kind to yourself.

This poem is called Embers and Keys and is in the book 'Letters from Life' https://a.co/d/17LrMHG

Taking care of someone with Alzheimers is not for the faint of heart. Watching someone you love, die slowly every day is hard. I know. I live it.

Pratiche gentili

Imparare a governarsi

a bastarsi

ad aspettarsi.

Imparare a tollerare la propria assenza,

il cuore latitante

dolorante

esangue.

Acquisire l’arte del cullarsi

offrendo lo sguardo alla luce,

al vento,

a visi dagli occhi lucidi.

Essere maestri

padre

madre

fratelli

di se stessi:

adottarsi

scegliersi,

prendersi in braccio

canticchiando.

Leggere

una poesia

per placare l’anima,

per accarezzarla

come si carezza

un cane

un gatto

un bambino.

Parlarsi sottovoce

tra sé e sé,

con questa formula semplice:

“Puoi piangere,

correre a perdifiato

stare sottocoperta,

consolare i tuoi fantasmi”.

Infine,

affondare nella musica,

respirare la neve.

Si, la neve.

(Simona Garbarino)

“You must forgive yourself, you know, for not knowing any better than you did at the time that you make something so. If you can do this much, you can release yourself from a magnitude of contention that you have created against the self. If you decide, right now, that every choice that you have ever made was born in awareness that you held at the moment that choice was made, you can be understanding of the way that you operated and when. If you knew now what you knew then, you may well have done differently, but you cannot …”

"Be the person who cares.

Be the person who makes the effort, the person who loves without hesitation.

Be the person who bares it all, the person who never shies away from the depth of their feeling, or the intensity of their hope.

Be the person who believes in the softness of the world, in the goodness of other people, in the beauty of being open and untethered and trusting.

Be the person who takes the chance, who refuses to hide.

Be the person who makes people feel seen, the person who shows up.

Trust me when I say; be the person who cares. Because the world doesn’t need more carelessness, any more disregard; because there is nothing stronger than someone who continues to stay soft in a world that hasn’t always been kind to them."
