Thank you JOan, I have battled so much the God idea, for many years, and actually it is so simple.

I am grateful for your reflections that point to a mystical experience of "God" which is often in opposition to the dogma and doctrine. I've grown up in and out of "Christianity," though I continue to agitate from the apparent inside of that large construction. I could go on with responses, but I won't; mostly I want to say thank you for speaking truthing and share that my heart goes out to your friend.

Thank you. I love your writing always so thoughtful, beautiful and inspiring. Brings peace and harmony to this mind and heart.

The quote "enlightenment is not needing to die a good death" and your application of it to life also, was very impactful for me. Something to contemplate and remember.

Thank you.

Hoping your friend with dementia is supported and loved. ❤️
