Four years ago Emma and I were visiting Yosemite. It was during the pandemic and the park only had 20% of its usual number of visitors. It was an amazing time.

One of the very notable aspects of it was a then-to-now sharing of how amazing it was to see a bear! We saw THREE bears in all and we thought his was some sort of amazing time. 

Less than two years ago I saw my first bear in Northwest New Jersey running across an offramp near Katherine’s home.

This Spring, I made an acquaintance with the neighborhood bear I now call Baboo. Baboo is a regular fixture who I am aware may be around quite regularly and impacts when I take out my trash, where I park my car and my relationship with my neighbors across the street.

A lot can happen in four years, in one year, in five years.

Some people would suggest we brush away memories and not talk about them.

One of my experiences in the hospital was sharing stories with nurses. My favorite nurse of my time in the hospital thanked me for asking about her life because other people tell her to stop telling her stories.

“Stories are my medicine” I told her.

“I’m grateful you share different kinds of medicine here with me.”

What story do you not tell that you think would help you heal if you told it, freely?
