I am looking for you. I am seeking myself at the same time. In a connection, as short as it may be, I can learn about you and also about myself. Being present for someone is merely showing up to give them attention. Just listening is the major therapeutic part of a counseling relationship. Now, I’m not trying to be your coach, but I will give you an opening to tell me what’s good, bad, or confusing in your life. I am just here.

I See You

By pausing my own story I give air for you. Asking you about your day is an invitation. The response is up to you. If you’re on your phone, in a hurry, or lost in your own story, that’s fine, I will let you flow through my lane without resistance. Even when you don’t want to talk I am listening. We can be quiet together as I ring up your delectables.

When you give me some of your story I with hear with my entire soul. Not to get too woowoo, but we are here to mingle and enjoy each other, in whatever way is appropriate. By giving you space I am providing a safe moment for conversation, contemplation, or distractions. It’s up to you. I am taking my lead from your indications.

“While we’re together…”

During various periods of my shift my outreach and focus can change. Sometimes, I go quiet too. Mainly at the end of one of my cashier runs, I get quiet and a bit slower. If you want to talk just say something. Invite me in. I thrive on interaction. I am also peaceful in my own pause. I hold a quiet moment, a simple connection, an open hand, for you.

“I’m looking forward to seeing you.”

The hope I see in others
becomes the hope I have for myself,
my life, and my own journey.
