Grace 2023

This sermon was recast for The Unitarian Society in East Brunswick for a service on November 5, 2023, by Rev. Lyn Cox

I happened to be waiting at the Physical Therapy clinic this week, not for myself this time but with a loved one, when I overheard a therapist working with a very young child say, “I know this is hard. You can do hard things.”

Right there was a whole book of wisdom. I had heard these words before, including directed at me from other physical therapists, but this time I received the words and more of the implications for our lives. There was compassion in the acknowledgement that things are hard. We all face challenges in the process of living and growing, and often we have some bonus challenges to face on top of whatever we think “normal” life is supposed to be. The acknowledgement encouraged self-compassion as well. The challenges before us are not easy, and are not meant to be easy, and it’s OK that some things are hard. Implied in that acknowledgement is the freedom to fail. Trying hard things means we will not succeed every time, especially not at first.

Being in an environment where love and support and challenge and compassion and forgiveness all intertwine might be one model for a humanist experience of grace. When we don’t have to earn our worthiness, but we carry it with us inherently, and we act in recognition of the inherent worth of everyone around us, when we know we are beloved and capable of love, perhaps we can find some of the sense of ease that is implied by the word grace.

As much as we strive to make our homes and congregations sanctuaries of grace, it is a struggle to let go of the competitive not-enough-ness of the larger culture. So it’s good to take breaks. It’s good to come to a place where we remember how to be human. It’s good to make time to celebrate with loved ones when the occasion arises. It’s good to take naps sometimes, so that we can be more fully present and more aligned with our values. Returning to community, taking a sabbath, or engaging in a practice to find your center helps us to get grounded in grace. It’s like when you have a machine that’s overheating and you have to turn it off and turn it back on again.

Starting over, well resourced, residing in the present moment with joy rather than dwelling on negative things from the past; this is an experience of grace. The experience of grace is itself one of ease, yet we may struggle a bit with the disciplines that help open up our perception of grace. To me, grace is a force of the universe that is always there, an assurance of the acceptance of the Source of Love, a resource for reconciliation, and a model of how we can live in connection with one another. Grace is the truth that sets us free and the re-alignment of right relationship. To open ourselves up to its power, we practice forgiveness, self-compassion, and covenant.

Forgiving Others

Forgiveness is one path to opening up our awareness of grace. Forgiveness is one of those themes that people of faith are never quite done wrestling with, so I’ll just touch on it briefly, and trust that we’ll come back to it. Forgiveness can involve retaining the memory without continuing to feed the feelings of anger and disappointment. It can lead to making amends, reconciliation, and a stronger relationship, especially when more than one person is engaged in the process. Occasionally, forgiveness means letting something be in the past and finding a way to love someone from afar, because the hurt is too deep and the harmful behavior is too persistent for closeness. For everyday injuries, may we practice forgiveness in ways that are healthy for ourselves and life-affirming for all.

Our story earlier, “Mussa and Nagib,” is an allegory that illustrates this. Spirit Lab students might hear this story later this year as part of the “Moral Tales” religious education curriculum. In the story, hurt was written in sand, but selflessness was chiseled in rock. Writing in sand doesn’t take much time. It’s OK to remember mistakes and learn from them, but don’t dwell on judgments. On the other hand, engraving kindness in stone takes some focus. Writing thank-you notes or recording the act of kindness in a journal can help us hold on to those feelings of connection and gratitude.

Sometimes resentments are attempts to prevent being hurt in the same way twice. But grudges do not necessarily offer protection, and they have their own drawbacks. Addressing the incident directly—saying what happened, how you feel, and what requests (if any) you would like to make to the other person—is one way to reduce the risk of being hurt again.

In a sense, Mussa’s act of writing in the sand where his friend Nagib could see it was a form of direct address. He called attention to the hurt, the incident itself, without any theories about what it meant or labels for his friend’s character. It is so easy to jump from “ouch” to “you don’t care about me” or “you are a bad person” in a moment of anger. Reflect on facts first. Notice your feelings. Figure out what you really need. Then decide how to respond.

Direct address is not a guarantee, but I think the benefits outweigh the risks. Carving a negative experience in stone takes a lot of time and effort, and then you have this heavy rock you have to carry around. It may be that some distance is necessary for physical safety. Honor your own well-being and boundaries, yet also account for what is lost when a grudge takes the lead.

When an event is far in the past, you can hold on to the wisdom you gained from that experience and the memory of the strengths you showed in navigating through it without pacing continuous circles of resentment and judgment. Whether something is drawn in the sand or engraved in the stone depends on how much time and energy you devote to committing the facts, feelings, and inferences to memory. Choose consciously. Forgive when you can.

Self-Compassion

For some of us, forgiving others is easier than forgiving ourselves. Self compassion presents a number of challenges. Unlike conflicts with other people, we don’t have as many options for putting temporary distance between ourselves and ourselves while we reflect on what we need. Of the options we do have, few of them are healthy for very long. Self-compassion helps us to continue to do the work of reflection in moments when we doubt ourselves, or when other people doubt us. Self-compassion reminds us that we have value, no matter what setbacks occur.

One of the hard truths about running away from self-compassion is that dramatic self-recrimination can be a way for our minds and souls to try to get off the hook from responsibility for our moral choices. “Oh! I am such a wretch! I cannot possibly be held to a standard of human behavior! All is lost! I will give up now and go live in the wilderness among the locusts!”

The impulse to retreat into self-castigating isolation is familiar to me. Perfectionism is a tempting poison. And perfectionism is a liar. The Spirit of Life extends a hand to us, whether or not we get everything right. This is good because we most certainly will not get everything right.

I am reminded of Brené Brown and her research on shame and vulnerability. She says that shame is a fear of disconnection, and that all of us need connection and belonging. Brown goes on to say that in order for human connection to happen, we have to allow ourselves to be seen, to be really seen. We have to be vulnerable. It’s not comfortable, it’s just true. Connection happens when we have the courage to be our whole, imperfect selves. Running from vulnerability and shame might lead us to numb ourselves, or to force certainty in places of uncertainty, or to mask with an illusion of perfection. When we can let go of those things, Brown says, when we can let ourselves be seen, and love with our whole hearts, and practice gratitude and joy, and believe that we are enough, we can find the vulnerability that is the birthplace of joy, creativity, belonging, and love.

Numbing doesn’t work, and can harm us. Digging our heels and defending certainty in places where mystery dwells doesn’t work, and can harm us. Grace tells us that we always have the option to turn aside from destructive choices, we are capable of doing better (though not perfectly!), and that Love will not let us go, no matter what mistakes we have made. Grace gives us the freedom and the responsibility to get back up again after we’ve come to terms with our shortcomings and limitations.

In the reading we heard earlier, my colleague, the Rev. Julián Soto, said:

The thing you must be is yourself.

Unadulterated, shedding the willingness to journey alone, as though you are made of something hard and unforgivable. You are human. You belong, right here, right now. And together, we will chase away the sickness, the secrets, and leave only the open Possibility that the future is a space for growth.

The future is a space for growth.

Understanding this open space, and that we need not be perfect to move forward, is essential for our ability to make moral choices in matters of social justice as well as everyday relationships and spiritual growth, as if any of those things could be separated. Far too often, fearing that we will get it wrong, or that it won’t be enough, or that we can’t be guaranteed success, makes a barrier to our participation in movements for justice and compassion. We might get so overwhelmed by the enormity of the many interlocking human rights crises going on that we don’t know where to begin. We can begin somewhere imperfect, because all of the places to begin are imperfect.

Letting go of the lie of perfection means that we can stop both running away in shame and defending our veneer of goodness from the truth that threatens to expose us. Instead, we can learn from our mistakes and limitations, and allow what we learn to lead us into transformation, to bring us to a closer relationship with the Spirit of Love and closer to right relationship with each other.

The thing you must be is yourself. Have compassion for the previous version of you, who had to make decisions without all of the information or resources or support you might have needed. Have compassion for the current version of you, whose imperfection opens up the future as a space for growth. Let us face the wide open space of that future as imperfect people practicing compassion for ourselves and each other.

Covenant: Anticipating Grace; or: The Freedom to Fail

Practicing being open to grace as we forgive ourselves and each other is a little easier in a covenanted community. Unitarian Universalist congregations like this one are covenanted communities. What holds us together is not creed or personality or even an appreciation for music, but the sacred promises that give us our foundation. Covenant is another one of those evergreen topics, and we will definitely be coming back to this in a worship service later in the year.

Here in this congregation, some of those promises are spoken and some are unspoken. We can disagree about ideas without rejecting people. We bring our whole selves into this room, fully present, accepting all the aspects of identity that make our companions who they are. Whoever you are and whomever you love, you are welcome here.

This being a human community, we need to cultivate ways to lovingly call each other back into relationship, because there will be mistakes. Coming back to the table when a promise has been broken is also part of covenant. Covenants can be sacred because they are capable of embracing human imperfection. The sacred has avenues for healing.

Committing to a covenant is an obligation. It’s work. Being connected means we voluntarily give up some of our freedom. On the other hand, being in a covenanted community also gives us freedom. It gives us the freedom to fail and to come back from failure. Covenant offers the freedom to be broken, to have our brokenness recognized, and to be appreciated for the entire picture: broken and whole, flawed and fabulous. That’s grace.

Knowing that there is room in this circle for the entirety of life, may each person know the freedom to lay out all the challenges, anxieties, works-in-progress, gifts, and talents they bring with them into this community. Volunteer for the coffee ministry, or to teach children’s religious education, or to be a greeter. Sign up for the anti-racism book group and say what’s really on your heart. Make something daring for the next potluck. Have confidence that you are welcome in this covenanted community. There is grace here.

Conclusion

Living among human beings means being open to the possibility of both hurt and healing. May each one of us know the gift of grace, from human sources and from sources beyond our knowing. May each one of us know the gift of cooperating with grace, of acknowledging brokenness and being open to reconciliation and repair.

I hope that transforming our perception of the world so that we can understand the grace among us is as easy as arising from a refreshing nap. Let us awaken to the possibility of starting over. Retain the lessons of the past without putting energy into bitterness. Forgive when you can. Let us awaken to the assurance that our imperfections are welcome, and that our quest is bigger than whatever causes us to doubt. Be compassionate with yourself. Let us awaken to the power of covenant as we form a community of sacred resilience. The bonds of congregational life bring the freedom of authenticity.

May you be held in the love that runs through our interdependent web, may you be lifted up with grace, and may you begin again in courage. Rooted in love, may we renew our commitments together.

May it be so.

Week 8 Site visit!

Visited the Hope nursing home in Brunswick today with Isabelle and Alex (Strongroom AI). Great of them to organise this.

Highly valuable to do a site visit and see first hand what nursing homes are like in Melbourne. My first time being to a nursing home and it was a bit of a shock. Mash made the comment that what you see online doesn't reflect the reality of retirement care living.

The staff were all very friendly and helpful particularly the physical therapy nurse.

We learnt a ton about what kinds of activities the residents engage in on a daily basis and what they like and don't like.

Simplicity seems to be key, focusing on asmr elements such as color and sound to stimulate engagement.

Designing to be easily usable will involve the most residents as many are limited in their ability to engage in activities.

A large factor in play and group activities was staffing. This seems to be a chronic issue, exacerbated by covid. Seeing how we can provide opportunities for play and collaboration with minimum staff requirements will be essential.

Jennifer Gendron - phaware® interview 432

On the 14th anniversary of her son's life-saving lung transplant, Canadian pulmonary hypertension care partner, Jennifer Gendron discusses how the PH landscape has changed over the past 20 years and life post-surgery.

My name is Jennifer Gendron and I'm from a small town in New Brunswick, Canada. My oldest son was diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension back in 2003 when he was five years old. As a lot of people's stories go, there were some subtle hints sort of leading up to it. Nothing seemed too out of the ordinary. We thought he had asthma. Just sort of out of the blue things progressed really quickly and we got this diagnosis sort of out of nowhere. It felt like, that he had severe pulmonary hypertension and that there was really not a lot that they could do.

20 years ago, things were certainly looked a little bit different in the pulmonary hypertension world than they do now, even less medications and treatments available. He started on oral therapies and quickly ended up on Flolan. He sort of never really did great. He stabilized for a little bit and then he would get worse. We were thrust pretty quickly, I would say, as PH goes into looking at transplant options. He ended up at the age of 11 having a double lung transplant back in 2009, so 14 years ago.

Back in that day. So one of the first things that I immediately tried to do was find some other people, connect, learn a little bit more about the disease. There was really not much happening here in Canada. I live on the East Coast and I found a very active support group on the West Coast, BCPHS. It was led at the time by Liz McCall. It was the most active group here in Canada and literally on the opposite end of the country. There had been the Pulmonary Hypertension Society of Canada at one point, which had become pretty much inactive by the time that Braden was diagnosed. I found PHA in the US and got myself on a plane and got to a conference down there, met some really incredible people and started to make some connections with people that were from Canada that were also looking for support, that had started little pockets of support groups throughout the country. I got myself connected with that group, and it wasn't too many years after that that we were able to come together and form what is now PHA Canada, that just celebrated 15 years unbelievably as an association.

To me that was one of the biggest, most important things was to connect with other people and learn as much as we could about the disease, find the support that we could not only for our son but for the rest of our family. I had two other young boys that were three at the time, twin boys, that when their brother was diagnosed and certainly it's a disease that impacts the entire family and one that is very complicated to manage. Just talking with other people and connecting with other families that were dealing with this similar journey was certainly, I feel, very important.

It's interesting because over the years I'd often have people say to me... So he was diagnosed in '03, so he lived with the disease for six years before we ended up in on the transplant list. People would say, "Well, he have a lung transplant, wouldn't that fix it?" It sounds like a fix, but you're certainly trading off one set of problems for another and a lot of unknowns. As much as it sounded like this miracle cure, it's not something we wanted to rush into. We also don't live anywhere near a transplant center. Being from rural New Brunswick, the closest transplant center for us is Toronto, Ontario. So 18 hours from where we live, and we had to physically move to that area before Braden could be listed.

We also weren't sure if that was really something that he would be up for. He was 11 years old. He was very frail. Would he survive a transplant? Was a transplant the right decision? Was he up for the long process of the recovery and all of those things, because he was still a child, but he was getting to that age where how much do we involve him in the decision? How much of this decision is ours? At one point, he wasn't responding well to treatment. We had gone through the transplant process, the workup leading up to it, tons of testing, and then they got him on Flolan and he stabilized a little bit. So that kind of got parked. It was almost a relief like, okay, we don't have to deal with this right now. We don't have to think about this. Because it was a really tough decision and a decision that affected us all.

Unfortunately, he stabilized only briefly on the Flolan and so we got faced with the whole transplant scenario again very quickly. We went up and we had all of the testing done again. It wasn't just him that was testing, we all had to meet with the psychological team to make sure we were all capable of going through the process or that they deemed us to be capable of going through the process. We had to, as I say, physically commit to moving our family. That was a big decision, because at the time, again, I had two other young children at this point they were nine years old. We, I guess, decided really early on as a family that if we were going to do this and we were going to go down this path, that we were all going to do it together. So we weren't going to separate our family, because we had no idea how long we would have to be in Toronto waiting for transplant.

My husband was an RCMP officer at the time, he took a leave of absence from his job. I owned my own business. I hired someone to run it. We were still sort of on the fence if it was the right decision to put him through the surgery. I remember we were sitting in Toronto in a restaurant, my mother-in-law had come up to meet us. We had been just going through several days of tests. This was a boy who his two younger brothers played sports, hockey, which he was not able to do. But also, always, "Oh, hockey is so stupid, I'd never want to play a game like that." He was a video gamer, that was his passion. We were sitting in the restaurant having lunch and my phone rang and it was the hospital in Toronto. And they said, "We just wanted to let you know that your son, we've gotten all of his tests back and he is a candidate, we would be willing to move forward and list him for transplant." He said, "Who's on the phone?" I told him and I told him what they said and he said, "Yes." I said, "Really?" He goes, "This is great. I'm finally going to be able to play hockey." And that was that.

I had to leave the table and excuse myself and go to the washroom and lock myself in a stall and cry my eyes out for a few minutes and get it together. But I realized then, okay, this is what we're doing. This is what he wants and we're going for it. We came home and found somebody that would look after our house and packed up whatever belongings we thought we would need and got in a U-haul and drove to Toronto with our two dogs, our three kids and our worldly goods and waited. We really had no idea the wait list at that time... Well, the wait list is always... You just don't know how long you're going to be there. We didn't know if it was going to be months or a year. We arrived in Toronto at the first part of August and got a call on September 23rd, he got the call for his transplant.

Right up until they took him through the doors of that OR I kept thinking, we should just go. We should just go. We know what we have here. We know what we're dealing with. I know what his quality of life is now. We should just turn on and leave. What if he doesn't make it through this surgery? It was horrible. But he was so determined at that point that this was going to be and that he was going to have this new life, we were like there's no turning back now. But yeah, I think of all the highs and lows in this whole journey, that was one of the absolute toughest moments is just not turning around and running out the doors with him.

He's been very fortunate in terms of transplant and how well he has responded. There have been very few setbacks over the years. Early on, he did experience some chronic rejection right at the very beginning, which was really scary, because we weren't sure where that was going to lead us. I had seen and heard a lot of stories where people just chronically rejected and had to go back for a second transplant. That was fairly early on, probably six months out, he ended up with some chronic rejection and having to have high doses of steroids. You have a preteen on IV steroids, who's in this absolute emotional rollercoaster.

But after that, and when they got him stabilized, he really has done very well. We were back home in New Brunswick, he was transplant in September, we moved home in April and we technically could have come a little sooner, but I was really hesitant to leave Toronto. I felt like we were safe there and we were close to the hospital. So moving back home, I found really hard. I mean, my kids couldn't wait to get home. But it was something that I was wrestling with in that what are we going to do? What if things go badly? We had gotten used to traveling back and forth over the years. The closest PH center is also in Toronto. I was used to running back and forth to Toronto with him a couple times a year for follow-ups. But there was just something about being right there and being close to the hospital.

But we came back home and he did really well. We would go back to Toronto a couple times a year initially, and then once a year. Then the years just kept ticking by and he kept getting older. Then my new fear became, oh my God, we're getting close to the point where he's got to leave pediatric world and we got to go down the street to the adult hospital, and yikes. That's a really great problem to have when you are in this world. But that brought a whole new set of challenges with it again, because as an adult they don't want to talk to your mom and dad. They want to talk to you as the patient. As an 18, 19 year old kid, we were always the ones who were the spokesperson and the advocate for him. It was really challenging. At that point he was almost in denial about anything. He's 18 years old, he's invincible. I don't need to worry about all this stuff. I don't want to talk about it. I don't want to talk about my medications.

So we went through quite a rocky transition time, I would say, for a couple of years where he was just not as compliant as he should have been. We were trying to be the bridge, but it got to the point where the hospital didn't want to talk to us anymore. That was a challenging time. I mean, he's 25 years old now and it's gotten much better. That was probably one of the hardest times in just managing his illness, was having to turn it more over into his hands and trust that he was going to do the right things.

I never thought we would get this far. I think back to these times, well, initially when he was diagnosed, we were diagnosed in a hospital that had no experience with PH. It was basically take him home and enjoy the time you have left. We really never thought we would reach the milestones that we've reached. As he got sicker, we got to make the most of every day, because I don't know how many days we're going to have. I never thought we would get to this point. Even at the transplant point, it's like, are we going to get through this? Are we going to come out the other side of this? Am I just dropping my son... Is this the last time I'm going to see my son, as I wheel him to the OR? You just kind of live with that in the back of your mind every day.

Even now, people will say to me, "So everything's great. He's fine now." I'll be like, "Well, I mean, yeah, he's really good right now." And that's awesome. But you just don't know what's around the next corner and it's a hard thing when you really sit with it to process. But again, I mean, I just try and look at it as none of us know. He's living with something that he knows he is living with every day and none of us knows what's next in life. I just watch the things that he's been able to do. That day that in the restaurant where he is like, "Yeah, I'm going to play hockey." I was like, "Okay." And he had the transplant in September and another young fellow had a transplant around the same time, and they had a bit of a competition going, who was going to do the best in rehab and who was going to bike the longest? He used that and I started watching him.

Then he would start asking the doctor every appointment, "So can I go play hockey now?" I'm talking October. The guy still has staples in his chest... And they'd be like, "Oh, no, no, not right now." I'm like, oh God... And so every time we would go he would ask this question. So in January we'd go to the hospital and he does the same thing, "All right, so can I start to play hockey now?" And the doctor says, "Well, do you think you can find a league that has no contact?" He goes, "Oh yeah, yeah, yeah." He said, "I don't see why not." I just about fell off my chair. He's like, "All right." So the next thing I know we're sitting white knuckled in the rink watching him try and stand up on skates. He didn't even remember that he used to know how to skate, he hadn't skated since he was five years old. He was 11 and they put him on a team with, I think they were seven-year-olds with this amazing coach who was like, "We're going to get this kid skating."

He had a ball and he just went from there. I would be panicking about him wanting to do something and he would look at me and say, "Mom, I didn't go through all this just so I could keep sitting home watching everybody else do things." I was like, "How do you argue with that? All right, get out there and do what makes you happy, because that's why we did what we did."

So my name is Jennifer Gendron, and I am aware that my son Braden is rare.

Naturopathy Therapy

Naturopathy is holistic in its approach taking the human body as a whole it treats the root cause of a disease and not the symptoms. Diagnosis and treatments use natural methods that promote the body’s ability to heal. Naturopaths focus on treatments based on natural forces, completely avoiding the use of surgery and drugs. Naturopaths aim to prevent illness through stress reduction and bringing changes to diet and lifestyle. Degenerative Disk Disease is a medical situation in which there are anatomic adjustments and a lack of function of various degrees of one or more intervertebral discs of the backbone of enough magnitude as to cause signs. Management includes Ayurveda Treatments, Naturopathy, Acupuncture and Physiotherapy - Naturopath dispensary Melbourne.

At times, the side effects are more dangerous than the original disease for which the medicine was prescribed. Naturopathic practice, on the other hand, is based on a faith in the body’s ability to heal itself by the natural, internal healing process of the body. Naturopaths aim to prevent illness through stress reduction and bringing changes to diet and lifestyle. According to naturopathy, when we use any drugs for healing, we actually take our body systems by surprise as the body cannot assimilate it naturally. On the contrary, in most cases, drugs suppress the body’s immune system and produce toxic side effects - Naturopath Brunswick.

The treatment of any health disorder in this system will be with or through nature. No drug is used, being unnatural and manmade. A naturopath begins with a patient’s consultation focusing on lifestyle, medical history, body language and emotional state as well as a physical examination. Doctors may help taper down the doses gradually and will integrate other conventional medical approaches such as acupuncture, physiotherapy, diet and lifestyle counselling with naturopathic treatments. Counselling includes making patients aware of the cause of illness. Our mission with a purpose to provide healthy lifestyle to all health conscious individuals and improve their quality of life through natural healing coupled with Yoga Sadhana, to stay disease free unto old age.
