Today a poem and drawing I created when I was 16 was featured in a blog by one of my favourite artists. Her name's Rachel Awes and her blog is
"All I Did Was Listen." Today's post (including my drawing and poem) is
'Listening to You' which is in a series of guest posts on Fridays, on the theme of 'Listening'.
Rachel does wonderful line drawings with colour, combined with a quote, usually something inspired by her experiences as a psychologist. She has a new book out filled with her gorgeous drawings, called
'All I did was Listen' which you can order on Etsy (click on the title for the link). I can't wait to receive my copy in the mail!
I will include for you my drawing and poem shared on her blog. It is one of the poems in my book "Stranger In The Moving Chair," self-published 2004.

"The Best Support"
>
>
The best way to help
Is to listen
>
Advice seems to pour
From those
Who insist they understand
But have never experienced it.
>
Those who help
Are those who listen
>
Those who accept
There is no magic cure
Accept they cannot instantly
Make things happily ever after
>
The best support
Is not a quick fix
But a listening ear,
No judgment,
And acceptance.
