“Here’s the deal. The human soul doesn’t want to be advised or fixed or saved. It simply wants to be witnessed — to be seen, heard and companioned exactly as it is. When we make that kind of deep bow to the soul of a suffering person, our respect reinforces the soul’s healing resources, the only resources that can help the sufferer make it through. Aye, there’s the rub. Many of us “helper” types are as much or more concerned with being seen as good helpers as we are with serving the soul-deep needs of the person who needs help. Witnessing and companioning take time and patience, which we often lack — especially when we’re in the presence of suffering so painful we can barely stand to be there, as if we were in danger of catching a contagious disease. We want to apply our “fix,” then cut and run, figuring we’ve done the best we can to “save” the other person.”

Mermay 1-10 by Christophe Young

Princess finds a bedraggled knight wandering just outside the castle walls with no heraldry and a wilted plume (a common sign of emotional neglect in knights) and begs the queen to let her keep him. The queen warns about the dangers of adopting wild knight errants but the princess promises to take good care of him and make sure to keep him away from their domesticated knights until he’s properly adjusted. Queen finally relents once she sees his rusted kit, broken sword, and the saddest brown eyes known to man. Princess claps her hands excitedly and drags him off to the apothecary to make sure he doesn’t have worms.

“What can I get you, Kit?” he asks, like he doesn’t know, and Kit likes this game, likes that he’ll play it with her. “Espresso martini,” she says. “Can you do the little bean garnish on top?” Lori pops the cap off a Miller by snapping it against the edge of the bar and slides it across the wood to her. She has to steady it from spilling when it catches on a sticky spot. “I might have a lemon that’s become a lime in color and size somewhere around here,” he says. “Just call it a ‘dried artisanal garnish’ and you can charge $16 dollars for it,” Kit says. “That what cocktails go for where you’re from?” Lori asks, and he keeps his eyes down but his eyebrows go up with his not-so-sneaky inquiry.
