At one point in this lovely, lovely work of grace about fear, faith, and kind-heartedness, the narrator asks: “What good are your beliefs if you don’t live by them?” Well, that’s a big question, especially when a Buddhist teacher passes on word from His Holiness the Karmapa that no, it’s not such a great idea for Belinda to donate part of her liver to her long-suffering sister. Their friend, the narrator, describes seeking the Karmapa’s advice: it was “as if we were catholic and our priest had like a bat-phone connection with the pope.” The liver-donating narrator, who has no strong belief system to guide him, tells this amazing story beautifully, without a touch of self-aggrandizement, and with great tape from the Buddhist teacher, the two sisters, and his own concerned mother. The music choices feel very personal and flow nicely under the narrative. An interview with the doped-up narrator three days after the surgery, and enough but not too much medical detail, keep the piece grounded in reality. Transplants are no small acts. But what is most moving and what will stay with me for a good while is the narrator's sincere feeling of gratitude.
