The young woman lies down on the ground.
She is not well... a severe anxiety attack.
A few minutes earlier she called her mother.
Her mother quickly reaches her daughter.
But what she does in that moment
is the best and most beautiful loving response in the world.
There is no question, no reproach, no judgement.
She does not ask her daughter why she is lying outside,
or whether she has taken her medication...
She does not take her hand to make her stand.
She simply lies down beside her,
right there beneath the falling rain.
There are moments in life when this is exactly what we want:
no question, no judgement, no help...
only loving companionship in a difficult moment.
Sometimes the answer to life’s most difficult moments
is simply a return to the simplicity of love,
just like this beautiful moment.
