Gratitude | Oliver Sacks

My predominant feeling is one of gratitude. I have loved and been loved. I have been given much and I have given something in return. Above all, I have been a sentient being, a thinking animal, on this beautiful planet, and that in itself has been an enormous privilege and adventure.Oliver SacksNo writer has succeeded in capturing the medical and human drama of illnessas honestly and as eloquently as Oliver Sacks. During the last few months of his life, he wrote a set of essays in which he movingly explored his feelings about completing a life and coming to terms with his own death. It is the fate of every human being, Sacks writes, to be a unique individual, to find his own path, to live his own life, to die his own death.Together, these four essays form an ode to the uniqueness of each human being and to gratitude for the gift of life.Oliver Sacks was like no other clinician, or writer. He was drawn to the homes of the sick, the institutions of the most frail and disabled, the company of the unusual and the abnormal. He wanted to see humanity in its many variants and to do so in his own, almost anachronistic wayface to face, over time, away from our burgeoning apparatus of computers and algorithms. And, through his writing, he showed us what he saw. Atul Gawande, author of Being MortalFrom the Hardcover edition.

Dad is quite well, but he is an octogenarian and he frequently likes to remind me of that fact. Mom died nine years ago and we miss her everyday. Many of Dad‘s friends are frail, ill, or already gone. He gifted me this book because the essays are a beautiful mediation on the beautiful adventures of life, but I can‘t help but to search for messages and meanings that Dad cannot say himself.

Brilliant neurologist Oliver Sacks last reflections on his life and ideas of the meaning behind it written during his final months of terminal illness. It is all you wouldn‘t expect- beautiful, hopeful and life altering.

My positive: helping 2 of my students with emotional needs- really connecting on a deep level. Such joy. 😃 moments that remind me that what we do as teachers does matter. With the world crazy with So many problems, small moments matter, affirming that what we do matters to those we serve.

I am #grateful to have successfully organized this virtual get together with our graduate students and our hardworking faculty members. There are around 200 of them but only 70 showed up. Manually assigning each one to their zoom rooms and visiting each zoom room to check out whether everything was going well was craycray, but worth it. 💕

For him I exist in a constant state of appreciation and I am filled with an endless desire to return kindness, consideration and thoughtfulness. He has humbled me. He has grown me. He has taught me. He has strengthened me. He has given a child‘s pure and innocent love to me. Gratitude emanates from every part of me because of him!

What a beautiful #audiobook! Oliver Sacks shares his thoughts as he faces terminal illness. Rather than focusing on illness, he reflects on what makes life good and expresses deep gratitude for the lessons and opportunities he has experienced in his 82 years on earth. This slim, beautiful volume is well worth a read or listen.
