1Many years ago, when I was working as a psychologist at a children's institution, a boy showed up in the waiting room.He was walking up and down restlessly.

2I showed him into my office and learned that his name was David. He had lost his father as an infant,and had lived together with his mother and grandfather since. But the year before David turned 13, his grandfather died and his mother was killed in a car accident. Now he was 14 and in Family Care. His face was pale, and he stared at his feet with his hands trembling all the time.

3I looked at David. How could I help him?“Perhaps he simply needs someone to share his pain with,”I thought.“Perhaps he senses that I respect his suffering.”So I decided that I'd be with him as long as possible.

4One afternoon in late winter,David took off his rain coat and put it on the back of the chair.While he was setting up the chess pieces,his face seemed more alive and his motions more lively.

5Several months later,the lilacs(丁香花)began to blossom outside.The air was fragrant with scents from the lilacs. I sat staring at David's head, while he was bent over the chessboard. I thought about how little we know about therapy—about the mysterious process associated with healing.Suddenly,he looked up at me.“It's your turn,”he said.

6After that day,David started talking.He made friends in school and joined a bicycle club. He wrote to me a few times, telling me how he would try to get into university. After some time,the letters stopped.Now,he had really started to live his own life.

7Maybe I gave David something. At least I learned a lot from him.I understood how time makes it possible to overcome what seems to be an insuperable pain.I learned to be there for people who need me.And David showed me how one,without any words,can reach out to another person. All it takes is a hug, a shoulder to cry on, a friendly touch, a sympathetic nature and an ear that listens. Whatever it is, the friendship between David and me stays permanently.
