| Introduction | I'm simply here to share my perspective on what it means to be Human...and what my experience is like being the sibling of a severely & profoundly mentally retarded sister. My sister has MSD (Multiple Severe Disability)--a reference to a person with an overwhelming number of challenges. MSD is her "horizontal identity". She is human. She is loved. However, the care and control of people like my sister--and the lion in the cage--have assumed a curious linkage--I see them as mirrors for how people understand consciousness. ..."between stimulus and response, there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response" [Viktor Frankl] Thanks for visiting. Please feel free to share any and all comments. |
