Respite Care

Writer: David CloustonDavid Clouston


The unbelievable storm

I am alive

So many angels and saints

and the greater force

Serving the demon

How did I get through?

God I am lucky






These are my reflections regarding my journey from my 20s to now.


I spent time in 3 respite care centres in Auckland (Mount Albert, Mairangi Bay, and Titirangi).


Respite care is a place for mentally ill people.


I am grateful to the many support workers who helped me - they are saints ❤️



 


One day a friend introduced meditation to me as a solution for my mind.


I started practicing the method of discarding my remembered thoughts.


The more I discarded the more I smiled.


Becoming free.


I can see.



Mt Ruapehu, New Zealand, it is a miracle to live a normal life again
With my brothers on Mt Ruapehu - it is a miracle to have a normal life again
