Hello Everyone
So much of Counselling is about communication. It would seem so simple a task to say what is on your mind, but the truth of the matter is something else entirely. People rarely know what is going on in their subconscious and it takes many counselling sessions to explore and find the right words to communicate those deeper feelings, fears and motivations.
How totally inadequate those words can be.
This is especially so on the occasions when major things happen, and we are standing outside the main action. Then not only can we not find the right words to express things, but we are without the means of expressing them anyhow. This has been the case for so many people this last month. When we want to say so much and share the depth of our feelings, all we are left with are those two words – Thank you.
The past month was a most historic month. Suzanne and I were in Canada when the Queen died yet within 5 minutes of the announcement, we were reading the newsflash on our phones. Queen Elizabeth the Second was the epitome of Royalty, having such grace, charisma, and quiet authority that even if someone was an antiroyalist, they could not help but acknowledge her as a very special person. She fulfilled her Coronation Promise to serve the nation brilliantly, showing a wisdom that defied politics and worldly power. The nation’s and world’s response became a largely unspoken need to express thanks for her life where the words ‘Thank you’ were so, so inadequate. Her reign is going to be an almost impossible example to follow.
Thank You.
