The Musician With A 7 Second Memory
If you think you don’t have much to be thankful for.... tragic and incredible.

wow, it's beyond tragedy. it's a horrific nightmare.
fascinating that there seems to be a burned in memory as he's learned to repeat: these are the first people he's seen since he's been ill. no dreams, no thoughts. It's so incredibly sad.
his wife.. what a saint.
I'm trying to collect some gratitude ideas for this Thursday and this video gave me a lot of ideas.
I also watched the Tom Hank's "It's a Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood" Movie based on an Esquire article about Mr. Rogers and that helped. I recommend Googling for the article. I'll help you:

Many of the documented actions in the article are woven into the film's plot. I've never met a great minister but he was one. I'm not particularly religious in the traditional sense but I do see the benefit of living a good life and fostering gratitude. We have lived in a very special time on this earth and in the arc of human history, I feel. We should be grateful for so much.
I hope this is true for most forum members but I'm sure some have had a less than wonderful existence. It's in the odds, I suspect.
There's a video on Netflix called "My Octopus Teacher" that changed the way I think about other creatures that we share this planet with. The ending of the relationship is a bit mind boggling in that film. Of course, we know the Octopus is smart but it actually says goodbye before mating and ending it's very short life right on a schedule that's thousands of years in the making. They live for 2 years max.
Gratitude. It cleans out the mind in a good way. It's beat the hell out of anger and rage to promote healing. But if you've got nothing but anger and rage. Be grateful for music.
Listening to this near broke my heart, and left me deeply grateful, despite my own failing memory.

@palms, quite right, totally nightmarish, twisted zen experience. Puts “living in the moment” into an entirely unexpected frame of reference. Sad to see a brilliant musical mind cut short, tho he can still play... but all is forgotten. He describes it as being dead. Seems pretty accurate. Incredible that he maintains a sunny disposition, but years of anger and aggression preceded it. And,of course, a virus caused it. The wife... a lovely person, and caught, maybe, in a karmic web.
Tragic and incredible indeed. It’s so sad to know that all of his accomplishments in life, and in music and the arts cannot be recalled. It must be only muscle memory that gives him the ability to play and make music for the moment, with all the years of learning, writing, composing, and performing completely wiped from memory.
The diary is a reflection of pure anguish. One could not even begin to imagine being trapped in time like that.
This story is a stark reminder in that we ALL have much to be thankful for!
Thank you @LinearLineman for sharing this here!
The Jason Becker story is another that comes to mind, when I think about things we have to be thankful for, especially when we’re talking about the gift of music, and how quickly it can be taken away.
@Intrepolicious, yes, the progression of handwriting in that diary is totally unsettling. Exactly how anyone would respond when confronted with hundreds of unremembered awakenings.
