Support


The Clinic is undergoing a whole lot of change.  Transition is an understatement.  Following the staff support group on Tuesday, we looked at the chairs, arranged in a circle for the group, and thought to put them back the way they had been.  We didn*t.   We put them back in a different way, so people might talk with one another while they wait for services.  I have no idea what happened to the chairs on Wednesday.  I do know there was energy present in the room when we left.  I believe it has something to do with mutual support.

Sometimes support means
Simply
To gather the wherewithal
To switch
The seating arrangement.
Sometimes
All that is required
Is to offer a different seat,
Something as simple
As sitting
In a different place.
I have done this before
Myself.
Now I counsel others
To consider the same thing.
Sometimes the first step
To regain control
Is to determine
Where to sit,
Only then  
May we grant to others
The very same
Possibility.
