You don't need to be asked to help someone

This is a true story that happened yesterday in our addiction education group. I was contracting out in another helping community and was waiting for the group members to come into our room. Directly in front of me was a woman who was dropping off her son as it turns out. Her son was not to hip on going to the group it appeared from his body language. As I began to shut the door, I noticed the woman was writing down somethings on her pad, while taking quick breaks to look up into the ceiling, and then jot more things down. I'm facilitating our group, and it was time for a break. The group members scatter outside, and I see the woman that was once there in the chair outside of our meeting place was gone. I walked outside for some fresh air, and there she was again. This time sitting behind a tree and appeared to be writing things down again, but this time four of my group members were over there. Her son, was 5 feet in front of me, smoking a cigarette. I asked him what was going on over there by the tree? He replied, go find out dude! Well, my curiosity was a running. I walked over to the tree, quickly, we only had 5 minuets left before group started. I then witnessed the lady on the ground, drawing what looked like tiny faces, and as I looked closer, hey- one of those faces was mine. Then the other people I saw my group faces. The group members were telling the lady what they were feeling, and how the face she was drawing, appeared to be accurate with the person. I asked respectfully to the lady, what made you draw these wonderful faces. She looked at me, and wrote, you don't need to be asked to help someone. I was in awe, a smile came across my face, a energy that was so strong, I almost felt dizzy. She was deaf, but she was there to help others. Wow, what a moment. Stay in your health, stay in the moment.
