The Tragic Gap


I thought of you this am when I read the following:

To live in this world, we must learn how to stand in the tragic gap with faith and hope.  By the "tragic gap" I mean the gap between what is and what could and should, the gap between the reality of a given situation and an alternative reality we know to be possible because we have experienced it.
                ....Parker J. Palmer, Weavings, March/April 2009.

Boy, if that isn't a description of living with Alzheimer's I don't know what is.

Love and hugs to both of you,
B
