Picture This
I’m sitting at the bus stop one hot summer afternoon and on this day in particular the bus was delayed. The man sitting on the bench is cursing into the air, waving his hand at the imaginary figure that he was speaking to. Initially, I was not phased, but when I looked up from my phone shortly after to discover that the only people in that bus stop was just the two of us, I concluded that maybe I should be concerned.
By now may be wondering right now why an apparent incident which should have sparked an immediate response from me, seemed to have no effect. At this point he looks directly at me, probably expecting a similar reaction to everyone who had scuffled away from the bus stop moments before. He apologized and I reassured him that there was nothing to apologize for.
He shared that he had been searching for solutions but felt restricted to the options available. I offered some lavender oil, which, in that moment, seemed to have an almost immediate effect.
I was pretty much stuck in a situation with no means of knowing how to cope. This was my normal. So it never warranted an alarming response from me. On the flip side, it birthed within me a desire to allow everyone to experience, even if briefly, moments of clarity and wellness. Moments when they feel heard; Moments of calm and normalcy.
