We had no idea of what was to follow.

 In late January of that year, over thirty seniors burned to death in a retirement building in Quebec causing the collective consciousness of Quebec, Ontario and wherever this story ran to think about our Elders.

There was communal mourning for the deaths of the elders who perished and a deep compassion for the survivors and the families of these Grandparents. Also since the recording of this, both my partner and I lost our Mothers.

 So much of what I learned in this wise teaching has been echoing through my life in a deeply personal way since it was recorded.
I suspect in the years following the COVID outbreak that devastated our elder community and shone a bright light on the conditions many elders are living in, we will need this wisdom even more.

I am grateful to share this with all of you.

May these understandings help you, whether it is for your grandparents, your parents or in your own journey through the Elder years.
