It is the relationship—the meeting—which is real, the genesis of self and same. Self and same are the same word. All stems from meeting, like the smile of the Cheshire cat, last to go, first to come. So too person and mind: person comes, then mind develops, then memory, then language, and in Alzheimer’s we have the wondrous gift of seeing them peel away to reveal person and love’s meeting.
