....... the kids were eating their fast food with gusto. THEN I remembered that she was not eating or drinking.





I stopped at a motorway services as I travel home after a day of facilitation with some beautiful human doing such wondrous work with humans on the edge.

I was drained as normal after giving all I have -  
engaging with these beautiful humans.

As slumped, drinking my second flat-white coffee ..........., 
I observed people around me.

I  then Tweeted this::


Expressionless - motionless - silent   with two kids in a cafe - on her phone ..... 
 "Everyone we meet is fighting a battle we know nothing about ....." 

 *****************

I woke up this morning at 3.45 with cramp in my left calf, as I often do after such a gig - 
my adrenaline was over pumped!
I jumped out bed - 
stretched my legs - 
drank water and returned to bed. 

Then, as a became sleepless, 
the video in my head was replaying the images of  that Mother & her two children.

I remembered that the kids were eating their fast food with gusto.
THEN I remembered that she was not eating or drinking.

She only started to eat when they had finished ....... 
she was eating their left-overs .... 
the remains of corn on the cob.....
the remains of a hamburger ............

Tears in my eyes now as I reflect on this .......




SHE WAS EATING THEIR LEFT-OVERS ......
