After hanging out with a friend who has dementia I was reminded in such a strong way of the power of the mind...
and reminded, too, of who we are when not identified with the mind...
as I sat with my friend we talked about the mental distress she was experiencing...how the mind plays tricks on us and wants us to believe what it says to be true. I knew even if she didn't rationally understand the conversation that still some part of her recognized truth and could actually rest in that knowing. And that is what happened...the minds agitation slowed and she appeared to experience more ease in being.
what a beauty-full gift and a potent lesson...
