Caregivers

 A L O H A  From  H O N O L U L U

When love flows outward,

Joy blooms like light,

Self mellows in peace,

Connections burn bright.

Desire's tight boundaries 

Are ready for war,

But giving expands us

Beyond what we were.

To inspire people, don't

show them your superpower,

show them theirs.

Alexander Den Heijer

As long as

there have been humans,

we have cared for one another:

mother for child and onward.

You might say that

caregivers are the most human

among us. Whether it is full-time

care for a family member, a job, a profession, or just holding the

door for another person,

Most of us are caregivers.

Thank you. And

don't forget to care

for yourself.

The most common way

people give up their power

is by thinking

they don’t have any.

When I was around 14,

and a huge fan of Judy Collins.

I attended her concert at

Philadelphia's Academy of Music.

Dropped off by my parents,

and on my own.

At the end of the show,

I insinuated myself into

the wings of the stage.

Just a kid, everyone

must have assumed that

I was SOMEONE's kid, but

certainly no threat. A Different time.

I found myself in her dressing room.

Just her and me. She in her bare feet.

Children and old ladies

may go anywhere!

We talked. She was charmed.

I left. She let the entourage in.

That evening reinforced an

important life lesson to me:

Act like you belong.

Don't gawk like a civilian.

And you can

Go Anywhere!
