The roles are beginning to shift. There’s a sense of responsibility— not out of obligation, but because we care. This thread tugs at us. We come together to name these truths. Not to fix, or figure it all out, but to sit with what is real. To witness each other with tenderness. Inviting you to a listening circle on ageing parents.

Close or not, you’re intertwined with the faces that welcomed you to life, eyes that watched over (or didn’t) hands that held you (or didn’t) Maybe now it’s different in between your hands and theirs is discord, distance, delusion regret, hurt or confusion guilt, shame, exclusion Maybe there also was/is still gratitude, love, familiarity safety, warmth or similarity and a wordless solidarity Maybe you had to walk away maybe you have to stay away for jobs, building your life or self-preservation – or maybe they walked away but their steps now are slower and the lines on their hands more wrinkled with memory And you want to hold them or let them go on on the path all must walk in full but the fear knows not where to go nor does the grief For it too is wrinkled with all said and unsaid amidst a life you’re still figuring out The quest for stability torn with duty, responsibility Walking The same path as they are Just behind, maybe different Or maybe all the same - Devanshi Srivastava
