Dave (see Blog below)
was remembering .........
He recalled that, some thirty years ago,
when he came as a student youth worker
to the project I led in East London ........
He remembers a young woman
who blanked me every day.
Every time I said hello
Every time I used her name
For months,
No speaking
No recognition
No facial response
No smile
No acknowledgement to me as an
outgoing 'make human contact' person.
He recalls that she walked past one evening in the club
and said to me
"Pip - would you like a piece of Fry's Chocolate Cream"
He remembered that.
I didn't.
Just think how sensational that is.
A breakthrough
An interaction
A giving
A response ...........
