Could you save a life?

I’m in the park and earlier I passed four police officers gathered round someone who had collapsed. One of them was giving CPR. If I’d been five minutes earlier and on the other bank of the river it might have been me calling the police. I thought later I should read this.

Strange that just this morning I finally finished Rachel Clarke’s tremendously moving account of her work as a palliative care doctor, Dear Life.

madeleines and honey

From breaths offered to L’inconnue de la Seine
to dewy spring mornings at Bondi beach,
to harbourside fireworks, to blue-ribboned jam
to Christmas parties out the back of Short Street,
the pattern you stitched where you touched my life’s fabric
was hallmarked by welcome and service, the magic
of generosity and hospitality
invited me into your home and your time.
Friendship was bypassed — it feels more like family,
we stayed at your place in the dix-huitieme.
And so when I visit you in your last days
I’m unsurprised to come away with more than I gave.
Thank you for asking — a personal invite
to your funeral. Yes, I’ll be there
to celebrate the differences made by your life
and exchange hugs with others who care.
Your smile and moustache will live in my memory
even when I’ve eaten all of your honey.


in memoriam S.N.

Have you cycled out the old stuff from your #FirstAidKit lately?

#FirstAid #Prepared #Preparedness

New first aid/medic pack, to replace the prior version. Lots of stuff in here for the paramedic on the family to use if they need to, lol. Anyone need a full face oxygen mask treatment? Plastic dohookies which apparently are shoved in your mouth to keep your airway clear? #firstaid #disasterpreparedness
