Since my return from The Memory Bridge Retreat, Ive taken more time to practice the skill of attention with the residents I work with. Today I sat down with a little lady who has dementia and doesnt speak coherently. In such a situation, its easy to quickly tune out. I stayed present with her, however, and leaned in to everything she was saying. It went something like this: HER: Yada yada yada yada yada yada yada yada yada yada. ME: Mm-hmm. HER: Yada yada yada yada yada yada yada yada yada yada. ME: Mm-hmm. HER: We learn to live in love. ME: Did you just say, We learn to live in love? HER: Yes. Yada yada yada yada yada yada yada yada. We hear so much about learning to listen to God. Sometimes He speaks most profoundly through the mouths of those wed least expect.
