Iyo Hot Chocolate Sparrow muOrleans paOuter Cape Cod inzvimbo inokurudzira yekufunga, kunyora, uye kutaura. COVID-19 yadzinga isu tese kunze kweiyo eclectic cafe, saka isu zvino tagara panze pamatafura epikiniki mukupedzisira kwezhizha zuva pamuromo weCape Cod Bay. Ndakagara nhasi kofi yemangwanani naiye Mufundisi Akanyanya Tracey Lind, aimbova Mutungamiriri weTrinity Episcopal Cathedral muCleveland. Tava shamwari dzakanaka. Ndiri pano kuzoteerera.

Tese tinoda izvozvo nhasi.

Tracey anoparidza panguva yezhizha paChapel yeSt. James Mubati wehove muWelllefe iri pedyo, uye anonyora netarenda rakakura pabhurogu yake yakanzi, "Kukanganiswa naMwari." Isu takabatana nechimwe chikonzero, kurwisa kuora mwoyo. Tose tinonetsana nedhimoni iri.Makore mashoma apfuura, Tracey akaonekwa aine frontotemporal dementia, inozivikanwawo semberi lobe dementia kana FTD, iyo inorwisa kutaura, hunhu, ndangariro dzenguva pfupi, kuziva shamwari, uye mamwe mabasa. Imhondi ine hutsinye. Pasina nguva refu yapfuura, anga achitaurwa pachikamu che "60 Maminitsi" paCBS News ichikurukura nezvechirwere ichi.

Hushumiri hwaRev. Lind hunosanganisira basa rezvemagariro pamwe nemagariro, hukama hwezvitendero, kusimudzira maguta, hunyanzvi netsika, nedzidziso yebudiriro, kuda kubvunza tsika. Munguva pfupi yapfuura, hushumiri hwake hwakawedzera kusvika pakuona pamweya nezvidzidzo zvemweya zvaakawana kubva kuhupenyu hwakaomeswa nedementia.

Tracey ibasa hombe ...

Tiri vaviri tiri kunetsekana nekuwana pekubata pane dementia yedu uye nehupenyu nhasi pachahwo - denda, rusaruraganda (zvese zvinehurongwa uye zvisinganzwisisike), mhirizhonga, ruvengo, mhirizhonga, vanonyanyisa, kupenga. Pakutarisa, zvinoita senge nyika yakasiana nhasi, asi kana munhu akachera zvakadzika, achisimudza zvifukidziro, tanga tiri pano kwezvizvarwa. Nepo dementia, FTD mune Tracey's kesi, Alzheimer's mune yangu, inobira imwe yehunyanzvi, inogona kupa maonero, kana munhu akasvika pazviri; isu tese tinoshanda padhuze nhasi pazvirongwa zveUsAgainstAlzheimer's. Semutori wenhau dzebasa, ndinofarira zviri kutaurwa naTracey. Saka ndinobvunza kuti: "Chii chiri kuitika munyika, izvi zvinorevei?" Ndakakatyamadzwa nemhinduro yake.

"Izvo zvese zvine chekuita nekufema," anodaro Tracey, sezvaakambotaura zvine mutsindo kare. Zvese nezve kufema ...

Pakutanga Mwari akafema uye akasika. Ipapo takarasika nzira, uye takafema. Zvino Mosesi akauya ndokuratidza vanhu nzira. Asi vaifanira kubata mweya wavo kana vachifamba nemumvura. Uye zvino Jesu akauya, uye vaRoma vakatora mweya wake pamuchinjikwa. Uye zvino Kristu akamutswa akauya kuvadzidzi vakavhunduka avo vakavharirwa mukamuri yepamusoro uye akafuridzira kwavari, achivapa hupenyu hutsva. Uye nekudzokororazve mune lynchings, makamuri egasi, hosha, kusvibiswa kwemaindasitiri uye shanduko yemamiriro ekunze, takarasikirwa nemweya wekufema.

Kuvharirwa kwe COVID zvine mutsindo kwakapa nyika nguva yekufema, kuratidza, asi pakati paizvozvo, George Floyd akaurayiwa nemapurisa. Uye akafa achichema, "Handigoni kufema!" Uye zvino vazhinji vakapinda mumigwagwa vachiisa mweya wavo panjodzi kuti vamire mukubatana naGeorge Floyd nehanzvadzi dzedu dzeBlack uye dzebrown nehama. Uyezve mapurisa akaburitsa gasi remisodzi mumhomho zvakare vachititorera mweya wekufema. Uyezve vazhinji vakatsiva, izvo zvakadzosera isu vamwe kudzimba dzakakiiwa nekutya. Uye zvino isu tiri kuyedza kufema zvakare pamwechete uye zvakadaro takaparadzana.

Ndiwo manzwiro anoita mwedzi ino-kuti isu tiri kuyedza kufema pamwe asi zvakadaro takaparadzana. Uye avo vedu vane dzakasiyana siyana dementia vari kuyedza kubatisisa kuhuropi hwedu mune ino chaiyo mapenzi, yakavhenganiswa nyika.

"Saka unonamata kusvikira chimwe chinhu chaitika."

Ndashaya mweya wekufema. Mashoko aTracey anondinetsa. Pane zvakawanda zvekugadzirisa. Uyezve pana Jacob Blake, muAmerican American akapfurwa kanomwe kumusana nemapurisa muKenosha, Wisconsin paakasvika mukati memota yake nevana vake vatatu, uye taura izvozvi mwedzi mishanu yapfuura muRochester, New York, Washington Post inoshuma, kuti mupurisa akaisa maoko ake pamusoro pemurume asina kupfeka, akasungwa maoko nemaBlack, akashungurudzika Daniel Prude, aive akarara akatarisana nemugwagwa une hunyoro, mumwe mupurisa akaisa ibvi rake kumusana kwemurume. Pakutanga, mapurisa akange akafukidza musoro waPrude ne "spit hood" chena, yakagadzirirwa "kudzivirira mapurisa kubva kumvura yemuviri."

“Uri kuda kundiuraya!” murume ane makore makumi mana nemasere akachema muvhidhiyo yechiitiko cheKurume, chakatanga kutaurwa neRochester Democrat uye Chronicle. Mazuva akazotevera, Prude akafira kuchipatara chiri padyo. Mapurisa manomwe iye zvino amiswa basa apo kuferefetwa kuri kuenderera mberi.

Uye nekudaro kuratidzira kusiri kwechisimba uye chisimba kunoenderera.

Semunhu wezvematongerwo enyika ari pakati, sevazhinji vari kunetsekana nezvose izvi: ndinosema ukuru hwevarungu nekusarura; kurudzira kuratidzira kusine mhirizhonga kwakarurama; kuvenga chisimba, anarchist kumukira uye kupamba sezvatinazvo munyika ino nhasi; tsigira zvizere shanduko yemapurisa yakakodzera; uye kutsigira mutemo uye kurongeka munyika ino. Ini handina kungwara zvekufunga kuti tinosvika sei, kunze kwekunamata. Ndiri kudada nebasa ririkuitwa neUsAgainstAlzheimer kuputsa zvipingamupinyi zvehurongwa kuhutano hwehutano pamwe nehutano hweVatema neLatinos, avo vangangowana Alzheimer's asi vasina mukana wekuongororwa, zvekuchipatara miedzo kana kurapwa. Asi basa rakawanda rakasara.

Nepo pfungwa dzangu dzingave chiri chinhu chekupokana, mubato wehupenyu nhasi uri kupisa nekusaenderana.

Zvino chinokonzera kufa kwese, uye kufa kunouya, kubva kudhimoni COVID, uye nyika haizoregi kutenderera patiri. Saka, kune avo vedu vari muchitima chedementia, vakasungwa maoko, saTracey Lind, ini, uye mamwe mamirioni, Dramamine inoita kunge munamato-munamato wemarudzi ese, kubva kumatendero ese. Tinoda izvozvo.

Kuchechi neSvondo - kumwe kupesana nepfungwa, muIrish Katurike seni kuChechi yeBaptist - mufundisi wekunamata Joe Greemore, achireva Old Testament Book raGenesisi, anobvunza mubvunzo unonzvera munguva dzino dzinonetsa: “Ndiri hama yangu here kana muchengeti wehanzvadzi yangu? ”

Mufundisi Greemore vanoti, "Tine basa rekuchengeta vamwe kunyangwe vakatitadzira (nekuda kwezvikonzero zvakasiyana-siyana) ... Tinopihwa rairo yekuda uye tirege kukuvadza ... Hazvinetsi here kunzwa kuvapo kwaIshe, apo isu tisingakwanise kunzwa zvizere kuvapo kwemumwe nemumwe? ”

Ndiri kutarisisa pasi izvozvi paPUS bracelet yandakatenga, nechisimba chekuramba ndichinamata kusvikira chimwe chinhu chaitika.
