What We Don't Know

It's strange when your Mentor suddenly needs your emotional strength, and you find within yourself strength to share that you didn't know was even in there. I've been leaning so heavily on Savita these past painful weeks, like a broken doll that can no longer move without help. I was startled but honored that she chose me to open to and share her anguish, and that she so unhesitantly asked for my support and even advice, just like a peer.

She was in pain, and from someplace very deep and nearly lost inside me came a forcful jet of strength, of logic and power that she asked for. I hope I helped her. I had absolutely no idea that strength was even there at all.

Maybe it's part of what she's trying to teach me.
