I'll have to interrupt everything to tell you this: death is the impossible and intangible. Death is just future to such an extent that there are those who cannot bear it and commit suicide. It's as life said the following: and there simply was no following.”
― Clarice Lispector

“Dorcas wasn't a fast walker. It was difficult for me to keep behind her. I tried to let others, joggers, and bicyclists, come between us.

I seemed to know that I would always associate that smell with this afternoon, and with Dorcas.”

“اماں " میں نے خاموشی توڑی "محبت کیا ہوتی ہے ؟
کچھ دیر کے لئے وہ خاموش رہی ، پھر بولی" بیٹے ، محبت دوڑ بھاگ نہیں ہوتی ۔ طوفان نہیں ہوتی ، سکون ہوتی ہے۔ دریا نہیں ہوتی ہے جھیل ہوتی ہے ۔ دوپہر نہیں ہوتی ، بھورسمے ہوتی ہے ۔ آگ نہیں ہوتی ، اجالا ہوتی ہے ۔ اب میں تجھے کیا بتاؤں کیا ہوتی ہے ۔ وہ بتانے کی چیز نہیں ، بیتنے کی چیز ہے ۔ سمجھنے کی چیز نہیں جاننے کی چیز ہے ۔ "

اماں کی بات میرا راستہ روک لیتی ہے ۔ میں رُک جاتا ہوں ۔ لیکن تڑپ بھری نگاہوں سے اُسے دیکھتا رہتا ہوں ۔ اس امید پر کہ شاید وہ مڑ کر دیکھے پھر مسکرائے ۔ پھر پھلجھڑی چل جائے ۔ پھر کن کہہ دیا جائے ۔ لیکن وہ چلے جاتی ہے ۔یوں چلے جاتی ہے جیسے کسی نے اس کا راستہ کاٹا ہی نہ ہو ۔ جیسے کسی کو پیچھے چھوڑ کر نہ جا رہی ہو ۔ سچی بات یہ ہے کہ اگرچہ میرے پاؤں رک گئے ہیں لیکن میں نہیں رکا ہوں ۔میں اس کے پیچھے پیچھے چلےجا رہا ہوں ۔ چلے جا رہا ہوں ۔ دِن گزر جاتے ہیں ۔ ہفتے گزر جاتے ہیں ۔ لیکن میں چل رہا ہوں ۔ چلے جا رہا ہوں ۔ اس کے پیچھے پیچھے چلےجا رہا ہوں ۔”

“the presence or absence of reflection of our state can make the difference between whether fear and pain embed or are able to integrate, even if the circumstances don't change.

As our people come to us for help with traumas that did embed for lack of companionship, it is our reflection of them in their state in the moment that offers enough safety for them to become vulnerable to remembering .

This is the core of our practice of following, to ... be available to take in and reflect back what our people bring, with no impulse to fix or change anything.

This is so counter to what we are mostly taught in our training and what our culture tells us is the path to healing. Yet the wisdom of the relational neurobiology we have been studying and our felt-sense experience repeatedly point us in this direction.”
― Bonnie Badenoch, The Heart of Trauma: Healing the Embodied Brain in the Context of Relationships

“Following is about linking with another and keeping that one in the center of flowing awareness, which is exactly what the right hemisphere has the potential to do beautifully. In fact, we may best begin by following our own internal movement as it arises in the presence of the other person.”

“At moments of deep uncertainty, I find that I sometimes jump the tracks into taking control, and in those moments, if I can move back toward following, the process often finds its own feet again. All of this has gradually led me to believe that letting go of expectations about the outcome of therapy as much as possible gives the process the most room to show itself.”
