I was listening to a conversation between a daughter and her mother who were sitting beside my table the other day. The daughter was elated to tell her mother everything that happened that day and the mother was taking in what her daughter was saying. The mother did not spoke much, just some occasional comments but it seemed like her being there and "witnessing" what happened to her daughter that day by listening brought much validation to her daughter's experience.

This made me think of the gift we are giving to others by listening to their experience. "Witnessing" becomes an important part of the process. When there is a witness to their experience, it made that person felt that "my experience matters" and "I matter".

We all need to feel that we matter on this earth in one way or another in order to keep on living. May we continue to hold space for each other to let one another know that we matter.
