The English language is wonderfully complex and
ambiguous. For example, "hole" and "whole" sound the same
but one has a fullness to it and the other an emptiness to it. Which spelling
fits Parkinson's best? Is Parkinson's a hole you fall into? Is it the whole of
you? Or does Parkinson’s help you fall into the whole of you?
Prior to diagnosis I had Parkinson’s; I just didn’t know it. If prior to
diagnosis I could be me then after diagnosis I can still be me; nothing has
changed except awareness of Parkinson’s. If you choose it, Parkinson’s can
point you to the importance of living moment to moment because that is what we
do anyway. We don’t live for the past or the future; we live in the moment and
for actualities in all their complexities and ambiguities.
