A Dream 03/31/11

There was some kind of catastrophic disaster. Fire was all around. Then there was an explosion or fire and light and on the other side life had changed. Many people including myself were burned beyond recognition but we were alive and functioning. New ways of doing thing had to be developed because people could barely move. A new language formed because people could barely talk. The interesting part is that this was NOT a nightmare. There was no pain, no fear, no depression, no anxiety. People just continued doing the best they could living their lives. Do you see a parallel with being a caregiver for or the person afflicted with Alzheimer's? I do. I also see that something that could have been a catastrophe ended up reflecting the ability of human nature to rise to the occasion.
