ETHICS OF REMBERANCE

     

I have tried to draw a parallel between the overlooked role of the left hand of a right handed person  and the quiet, often invisible contributions of people who support us.

The right hand may be the one that writes or serves, but without the left hand’s steadying presence, the act itself becomes incomplete. In the same way, society often celebrates the “visible” figure—the doctor, the leader, the performer—while forgetting the many hands that make their work possible: nurses, assistants, caregivers, family, even the unseen labor of those who prepare the space.

 What I am pointing to is the ethics of remembrance—to honor not just the one in the spotlight, but the constellation of support around them. It’s a reminder that wholeness is always collaborative.

To honor one is good, to honor all is grace!
