caregiver

As we age, we must take care of the dying one we are. Neither ignore it nor succumb to its every demand. We see its existence and respond to its slow and subtle and sudden decay. We soothe its fears and give it what nourishment it will take in. It in turn imparts its wisdom to the busy flesh we are. We laugh together in this hospice called Life.

    This is so true. As we age we constantly try to find the balance. Its like life is a see saw. Sometimes weighted more on one side than the other and our challenge is to constantly move the fulcrum to stay in balance. Sometimes we need to readjust the fulcrum daily, but adjust we do! LG

    This speaks perfectly to my (and my body's) condition. Thank you, George, for putting it so simply. As we age, we are walking a fine line between self-care and self-abuse. --Steve
