A new direction of thought for me: Are folks with dementia exploring for us, pointing us to, a reality that is where we come from and to where we are headed? (I don’t like the feeling of that: I feel that even spirals should have a forward and not simply circle back. Reality does not have to match my feeling.) A reality that is wholeness. A larger. Then what was this conscious and particle life all for? Does it make us wholer? If life is not about learning in a brain-like milieu, then what larger growth? Growth in love, conversation, meeting? Surely we have seen the reports of the good, profound times for these teachers and us students.
