Doug welcomed my music for several weeks, but I began to see the telltale signs that he was failing. Some folks say that doing this kind of work with dying patients at Hospice takes a special person. I agree that it is intense and difficult, but special? What do you think?

I think special in this way: Early on our life's experiences are "given" to us largely by others, especially by our family. As we grow we increase our own capacity to create many, if not most, of those experiences for ourselves. In both cases, our experiences and our responses to them - what we learn and how we apply that learning - collectively become who we are. And in that way we may become "special." Not by birth, but by life. Leave a Reply. |
