into the scrapbook of my imaginings, largely derived from my magnum opus,
“Into the ‘What If?’”
Still a work in progress, a graphical/art book, speculative fiction, long alive in me. So subject to the many deep eddies that have spun the potter’s wheel of my life.
The linked page is a picture index dedicated to resurrecting this project that still fills the dreams of my heart. To enjoy more about it, click the title link above.
Along with my speculative fiction, I have so many other non-fiction writing projects inspired by my recent year’s experiences with dementia, long-term
care-giving, and all the unanticipated hazards, disasters, upheavals, and of course, love–being there for my dad. That brought me to a newfound commitment to bring a social justice to light. A hard path that so few of us ever want to confront. It’s about aging. And the toll that the dementia epidemic of the industrialized world has extracted from our wish to live out our lives free of suffering. Our wish to be fully in reach of all that we ever strive to be.
A lot can be done to help the care-givers who sacrifice so much for their loved ones. Who in their service also benefit the State, that would otherwise foot the bill, in staggering ways, for this epidemic. And yet, the State, our Nation, has forgotten the care-givers who give so much of themselves. In compassion, and in battle against the memory eater that plagues our futures.
If you dare, peruse the images also included in a separate linked index, along with their stories. Click here–Beyond the Nomadland Border. And learn about how I aim to make important changes to how our society addresses some of the most heart-breaking of these issues. It’s time for a change. A change for the so much better.
