we had to spend the past two days trying to resolve a single issue with the Department of Social Services. we have to go to two more offices tomorrow. it's not my favorite government agency to deal with.
but spending time in congregations of people, mostly women and children, who all need help, real help of some sort makes me that much more blissful about my life and the love i have for it and it makes me wanna hug all those people.
all of these people are there to say to some person who's right behind a desk but emotionally miles away (often for their own emotional protection) 'please help me.' they have to take a number, sit on hard plastic chairs, anxious and hungry (no eating or drinking in many government offices) for hours and hours just for the chance to ask some equally cranky person for help. there is no happiness in this place, just guarded moments of laughter, often at the expense of someone else in the vicinity.
there is no happiness in this place.
the flower child in me actually thought 'i wonder; if everyone in here got one good long and loving hug every day, would this office still feel like misery is the ticket for admittance?'
it's a hard place to be physically and emotionally. for everyone in there i'd imagine.
Go in there and Reiki it up! I'm sure you did. Just taking notice of all the need. Not judging it. It had an effect. You are that powerful... Peace Mama.
