I wish doctors would listen more closely to those that are 24hrs around a patient at home, having a great sense of what's out of character, and be open & clear about the diagnostic process. The latter helps to deal with the helplessness so many caregivers experience.

"art of tanka" issue 5 by Pamela Babusci has landed on my doorstep, and look, there's one of my tanka inside!!

Forgive me
that I possess only
the heart of a child,
turned towards shadow play,
unblinded by the light.

firmly pecking the crumbs—

increasingly slow.
