Awakenings

Life goes along and things can get harder. Dena and I were watching the movie Awakenings, where a Parkinson's-frozen patient briefly regains normalcy. Eventually the tide turns, and as he laments his loss of movement he cries out to others who have so much but do so little.

Quite an awakening for us all. Our troubles are trifling, our despair a tragedy.

"The human spirit is more powerful than any drug, and that's what needs to be nourished."
