“Ordinary* people making an extraordinary difference in the world”:.. or should that rather be (read): “Extraordinary people living and making a difference (big) in an ordinary world.” * What’s that! from http://www.quietheroes.wordpress.com PROLOGUE People speak glibly about life changing moments. Some truly qualify. You propose marriage and are accepted. You hear, ‘You’re hired’ or ‘You’re fired’ and your future shifts instantly. The doctor says ‘malignant’ (or something else life-changing) and everything is different. But anyone who has ever lived through it will tell you: It is profoundly shattering to learn, in one instant, that everything you thought was true about a loved one (my words: or perhaps your own life) is actually a lie. (Your entire world is turned upside down – what you thought about yourself, and what gave meaning to your life). The world rocks on its axis; when it is finally steady again, you are in a strange place that resembles, but is totally unlike the place you were in just a moment earlier.” – fine and perceptive writing by Diana B Henriques from ‘Wizard of Lies; Bernie Madoff and the Death of Trust’ From A Book Extract (as published in the New Zealand Herald) And that’s just as we, c and I felt, as we heard and numbly tried to absorb the words of the specialist, all those long years ago... From Writing into the Light * A new book being written...as life unfolds “Life is God's Novel....so let Ultimate Source write it, as it unfolds" - as "inspired" by the words of Isaac Bashevis Singer " “She is in every respect an extraordinary and caring person with exceptional willpower.” “Extra-ordinary people are simply those ‘ordinary’ people, who find themselves in extraordinary situations....and can rise above them.” From www.quietheroes.wordpress.com “Imagination is everything. It’s the preview of life’s coming attractions.” - Albert Einstein Watching children grow... Watching children grow is like threatening the ivy to climb the garden wall. You wait for it to happen you hurry it along with love. But still you’re disappointed at giving someone life enough to walk off on their own and not be carried in your arms. You never turn back – not once, and yet one day they’ve grown apart or taller It’s all the same. Polly put the kettle on, we’ll all have tea. Giving love to children has made us older overnight. – Rod McKune THE YOUNG* KIWI NURSE 3 · Quiet, dedicated and private too THE NURSE (The young Kiwi nurse) "She is in every respect an extraordinary person with exceptional will power." “Extra-ordinary people are simply those ‘ordinary’ people, who find themselves in extraordinary situations....and can rise above them.” From www.quietheroes.wordpress.com * Dedication A “labour of love” dedicated to all of you, M, S and G But also to all nurses...just ”ordinary” people doing extraordinary good things in serving others all over the world “Nurses are simply angels in comfortable (sensible) shoes.” ~ Author Unknown “Success: how and the spirit with which you face, then overcome the daily obstacles, the frequent trials and tribulations along the often rocky path-way of life’s magical and mysterious journey. Light your path brightly...”
