The patient was there in the morning when I arrived. I had a standing appointment and wondered how it would go this time. My feedback from last time had been nothing. He met me with struggled words pieced together between difficulty swallowing. No movements were perceptible beyond facial expression and an occasional sway -- but ever so slight. I was there for an hour session and I did my best. My best was to let go of my expectations and to follow my intuition. A knowing without knowing, what the Chinese call wu wie. What did I do? I had him breathe and follow his breath with imaginary light. Meditation is a powerful key. A smile emerges which tells me that progress is being made. Humanity fills the air when we help another human being -- something Godlike in my mind is something that happens because air and water, time and space express more than ourselves.
Next time was clear. More of the same -- more of what I don't know.
