here today

 

there I was

there I was in the room with them my first clients, one and then the other.

I wanted to share with each what this moment was for me, moment by moment I wanted to capture and hang on forever because finally there I was in the room with them. there I was and I never wanted it to end, I wanted to leap across to the other couch and hold them give comfort. I wanted to jump up and down mid-sentence and say isn't it amazing that this is what I get to do now and for as long as I can do it.

there I was in the room with them these 2 clients these 2 humans and there are not words for the honor I felt the respect I have for this work. there are not words just a lot of silence, a nod, some summary statements, a propping up, a promise to call me first before doing anything final, an agreement from each of them to see me again, once a week on Mondays. because there I was in the room with them and at least last night, that was enough.
