Stay beside someone
Sit near water with someone who is struggling. Don’t fix, advise or fill the silence. Simply stay for ten minutes, and let the water do the talking.
“Presence is the most powerful medicine.”
From Passage Twelve, The Edge of Silence in Surrender to Self, Amal Lana’s lyric memoir in thirteen passages.
