"The great mystics like Jesus have taught that as we enter into the One, the One enters into us and becomes us and is us," Science of Mind, p. 343.
The heroic journey shows up quietly in everyday life, in the parent who foregoes career advancement to raise children, in the parent who goes off to work every day to provide for the family, in those people who are being good neighbors to others. I had a thought yesterday: what if the heroic journey is not just one the caregiver takes, but also the care receiver? What if during those periods of less lucidity the person with dementia is abiding with angels, preparing his/her way into the time after this life? Interesting thought.
