Meadow watches Spirit with a smile on her lips, kindness in her eyes and empathy in her heart. He is so shy it almost painful for her. If only she could give him some of her self-confidence. Not a lot because she would still need some too. She really wants to help him feel comfortable around her and all she can do is offer a friendly ear to him. In this situation, Meadow finds that taking it slowly and allowing him the opportunity to talk is the best approach.
When Spirit looks at the drawing and mentions that he hasn’t noticed it, Meadow nods slowly, a thoughtful expression on her face. She really wants to find the herb but now she is presented with a chance she has not had before. If Spirit will let her, she could teach him. Eyes brighten and the smile reappears as Spirit says he could help.
With a dip of her head in agreement, Meadow says, “I would really appreciate your help Spirit. What do you say, should we start our search near the water’s edge over there? Or over there?” With that statement she points a little way off to the left and then to the right. Ultimately, she wants to leave the decision up to Spirit in the hopes that this will give him some confidence. She adds, “I will go wherever you think is best.” and gives him a warm smile.
There is no urgency to the search and there is no risk of making a bad choice with Meadow. She knows that they will find the herb no matter what direction is chosen but this is a valuable moment. Maybe this will help Spirit find a little part of his voice. So, Meadow readies herself to follow Spirit’s lead.
