"SO ME"

She almost looked bewildered. Having attended the first and second of three workshops, she was wondering how it was possible that I would be able to describe her so accurately. "What you said was SO ME!" Then the tears fell.

Since she was one of forty young people whom I was meeting for the first time, I initially had problems remembering what it was that I had said.

Then as more recollection came, I realised that she was also disturbed for other reasons. Together with another, she received confirmation, affirmation, and I believe, comfort.

The next day, she told the other person that she was much better and that she was able to do the things she needed to.

When that happens, it makes what I do truly worthwhile...
