Current Mood

Artist: KK (MS2)

Piece: Current Mood

About: This piece was done during my time as a hospice volunteer, visiting my patient with Parkinson's. Every Friday evening, I came by his home, sat down next to him, and guided a short breathing exercise session. Although he couldn’t speak, his eyes seemed to carry a thousand stories as I stared around the house, looking at his photos with family and friends. These sessions helped us find a common ground between us, allowing us to be grounded in the here and now. Looking back, it was he who was my teacher, guiding me towards a path of gratitude, presence, and peace. I hope to carry this gift with those whom I am privileged to care for as a future physician.
