So No One Dies Alone

I think people are inherently kind: let’s empower people and give them the opportunity to do something good, something that makes a difference.

– Alison Bunce –

So No One Dies Alone

Alison Bunce, an award-winning nurse, has pioneered a community that aims to provide companionship to individuals in their last hours. Originating from the No One Dies Alone (NODA) program in the United States, Bunce adapted this model in the UK, calling her project Compassionate Inverclyde. What began as a palliative care initiative has evolved into a larger community service project, offering support to individuals at various stages of life. The organization now operates with over 100 volunteers, including community outreach programs that focus on alleviating social isolation. “Our very ethos is about being kind, and how ordinary people can make a difference together,” notes Bunce. It’s not just about being there at the end of life; it’s about creating a more connected and compassionate community every day. { read more }

Yodeling Above Freedom

–David Bullon

2668.jpgThere is a thrushing light alive – dancing and whirling;

concealed by midlife shadows in my antsy eyes.

My snow-shining mountainous essence beams luminously through that shade,

but somehow its rests unnoticed in the cavernous hills of my experience.

It comes from the cauldron in which dreams are potioned.

From a womb of loving acceptance for all that was and will ever be.

It is here to awaken my belittled dream-body.

Tight-tasks and soundful-sensations clinch my attention.

My resounding grasps will echo their yodels through the valley of time.

But a silent voice lures me inward.

The deep-now seeks to liberate my meaning-seeking mind.

And yet, the overwhelming streams of my experience

inter-sleep in a cacophonous blast of reality-numbing nowness.

Let me fleet-boost my essle-tindering lowndry.

Togetherme with life’s fuddle-box.

Entickleme with your wonder-rubble.

Grasping for meaning, I edge ease-anxiously into my cornered echo-mind.

Encastled, encloistered, prismatized;

Enshrined in simplexity.

What if my inner yodeler could be completely free to …?

What does liberation of the meaning-seeking mind by the deep-now mean to you? Can you share a personal story of a time you had a sense of awakening beyond meaning? What helps you have the courage to step outside your echo-mind and go beyond a search for meaning?
