Well, welcome back to today's podcast and we've got a couple of episodes coming up, the first

today on the issue of suffering. We'll try and tackle

some of the more pastoral questions next time. And this comes through so often in different

ways. We've probably done two, three or four even episodes really now, Tom, in the podcast

series that deal with issues around pain and suffering because it's just a reality, isn't it,

in people's life? And it comes in all

shapes and forms. This first question that we're going to hear from Dave in Ottawa is on the

subject of Alzheimer's. I don't know though if you've seen the video that was doing the rounds

towards the end of the year,

where it's extraordinary sort of montage really of an elderly woman, I think, in a care home in Spain,

who was a former prima ballerina and when played Swan Lake would begin to remember the moves and physically, you know,

sort of almost gracefully from the depths of herself somehow, which had obviously forgotten

so much physically, this was awoken and contrasted that against images of a ballerina

doing that, that dance. And very very moving seemed to trigger a lot of people

seem to resonate with that and we we on our unbelievable blog wrote something likening it to

those words of Paul on this present body and that future body we will have that there's something

almost that resonates with that about that we don't really believe this is the end future body we will have, that there's something almost that resonates with that about that,

we don't really believe this is the end,

that somehow we will dance again.
