In all, The Times found patients who had endured premature or bungled attempts to retrieve their organs in nine states. In some instances, hospitals, which are responsible for caring for patients before death, mistakenly concluded they would not recover. And although donation organizations are not supposed to have any role in treatment of potential donors, some groups, including the one in Kentucky, improperly pressured doctors and families while ignoring signs of recovery.

In one case in Alabama, surgeons cut into a woman’s chest before discovering she was alive. Doctors sewed her back up, and she was declared dead again 12 minutes later.

From Fr. Greg Boyle's book, Cherished Belonging. When some years ago I began making a conscious effort to interact like this, I began to feel so much better than I ever had before.

Mary Oliver encourages us to “Be where you are in the universe” and to “start the day in happiness, in kindness.” I have tried to calibrate my daily intentionality to greet people… and to choose to brighten. It’s not just about smiling (though that's a good place to start). It’s about greeting, truly seeing people, and finding yourself anchored in the sure and certain knowledge that “the only non-delusional response to everything is kindness,” as George Saunders reminds us. Our rage, resentment,

relentless annoyance, impatience… all delusional. Kindness lets us brighten and greet folks. It changes everything. When you greet people in this way, watch folks revive. The heart gets jump-started. Yours and theirs.

Cat made several attempts to climb into this box today. She was quite annoyed that she couldn't somehow squeeze herself into it so after the third failure she moved on to dig her way into a box of papers I've been trying to organize.
