The approach you stretched to learn re elder-care with your mother is the perfect antidote to the frequently adopted patronizing, top-down, patriarchal and self-righteous system of care! And the banana-phone story is simply delightful! I've heard that the crone is close to the child in the great circle of life, and you've put your finger on the importance of genuinely authentic 'play' as a way to connect, heart-to-heart, in these precious moments. Thank you, again!
Hi Andrea, Thanks for your comment and insight. Makes me hope I can relax into a playful old age.

Delightfully light and deep at the same time. I appreciate the reminder to remain in our roles as parent/child.
