Eric Li Biography
Eric Li is a Vancouver based Chinese-Canadian writer and poet. Influenced and inspired by many authors, poets, historians and many whom he crossed paths with along his journey of life. He delights his poetry often with photographs and visuals, seeing that ' Each poet is a creative director of their own movie that is told in a poem. Poetry is a film for the heart and soul.' Furthermore, he enjoys inspiration from ' the majestic mystery' of turtles and other silent shelled creatures. He believes their truth can only be heard when he becomes willing with patience and a hunger to understand their whispers. Mr. Li enjoys writing and poetry. Often his journals are reflections partnered with a poetic shadow. At times he also expresses his perspectives by writing quirky poems; however, he explained: ' there is a deeper message if interpreted upon further reads. I often try to have multiple layers of emotions; layers that uncover when matched with one's openness to know who he is. It is in the arts where masks can be created and uncovered to know thy self when eyes close. Writing saved my life.' Eric encourages all to try writing and find healing in doing so.)

Power to Care Knowledge is power but where does the knowledge come from? For me, it started with awareness followed by education and then putting the lessons into practice. Awareness of dementia began when I contacted the Alzheimer's Society's support line FirstLink. Their workshops and literature educated me. They provided additional support such as check-in calls that helped guide me with confidence in applying what I learned to care for my mother. Through trial and error I developed the fortitude and strengths of knowledge to navigate my mother's care in the roughest seas to safety. To have the courage to sit with her through the storms, I am with her. We appreciate the days when the sailing is smooth, I am with her. She is no longer alone. The Alzheimer's Society has helped me build resilience in caregiving and empowered me to navigate the challenges involved. And as a person living with a brain injury I also learned about how to be kinder to myself. The knowledge and successes I hold today are possible because of their support. The unpredictable path of dementia can be scary and confusing if walked alone. Dementia needs not to be dark or kept in the dark as with support and friends in community, life can be colourful. I have witnessed this expressed in my mother's artwork. I believe we can activate the hero within us by becoming equipped with knowledge and exercising our power to care. I have to power to care! -Eric Li (2024.02.17) revised
