Light

After eight months of not taking calls and of making appointments but not turning up, the light dawned today that we might be able to help. Not because we moved towards his future, though we did, but because I set up an email address for him and made it accessible on his phone after someone he thought was an expert spent three hours yesterday failing to do the same. Suddenly I have credibility.

And someone new who's been focused on one direct point of light in the distance in order to survive, took hold of a prism I offered her today. The light may end up in a different future.

These things matter more than getting home late and tired.
