Guest guest Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 Everyone: This evening I attend a concert performance. During the intermission, I witnessed a woman fall to the ground. She hit the floor face first-hit her head, nose and mouth without catching herself with her hands. She lay there with her eyes wide open, her pupils where tiny and nothing seemed to be registering. I ran over to her to check her vitals. Blood ran from her mouth, nose and eye. The world seemed to stand still. I called out for help...and the oddest of things, people stood there and did not assist. One of my friends went running off to find the paramedics...the other went to the consessions to get ice and napkins and hopeful assistance. I held this woman's hand until she started to come to, and she was able to roll on to her side. (I didn't want to move her without professional assistance.) I was in a concert hall with thousands of people and they just watched me holding this woman bleeding and resting against me. One gentleman pulled out Weinersnitzel napkins from his pocket, and I said thank you, as I gently blotted the blood trinklig down this woman's face, the blood merging into the red advertisement on the napkin. One other woman came over and knelt down beside me. She wore a sparkly indigo blouse and Hopi earrings and necklace. She held the woman's other hand, and placed ice on the woman's forehead. As she did this she lightly hummed. Soon the cleaning ladies and ushers had formed a circle around us and held out their dust pans and brooms, forming a barrier. It felt like ages before the paramedics arrived. The woman who stopped to assist, started to walk away once the paramedics got on scene and was a good distance down the corridor enroute to the washroom. I jogged up to her and tapped her on the shoulder. I held out my hand and shook hers...looked straight in her eyes of pooling light, and I said, " thank you for helping her " . There was like an unspoken understanding. It was so surreal; the whole happening, and I had to question if that woman who assisted was a spirit/guide of some sort. The whole scene left me with a big question mark hanging over my head...that people kept ordering their drinks, or chatting on their cell phones while this woman lay injured on the floor. Deep Breath. -Danielle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 First of all thank YOU Danielle for coming to her aid so brightly! This is a common reaction from others Danielle and yes it does speak to our societal standards at present. People are afraid of death or injury or getting sued or anything that looks or feels even close to those conditions. Some people will actually faint at the sight of blood. You did very well! And of course a sweet gratitude to the other woman and the workers and others who helped and who gathered around you and the injured woman. Humming can be a form of prayer. It is also used in healing rights from the Kahunas of Hawaii to the the native peoples and shamans all over the world. This was a very good lesson for you dear Danielle! And you did very well! More will come. Now you know the difference from helping and not helping and how strange it is that people do not help. Yet some do. You did, they did, and she did. You are all blessed angels - blessings to all of you! - chrism Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 Danielle, Deep breath is right! Wow, you were there at the right time. God bless you for helping that lady. She was there for you and you were there for her. It is so sad how people don't react to something like that. It reminds me of when I was in the hospital after my India trip, my K was fully awakened, but I was confused about reality. This boy sitting next to me in group collapsed to the floor and was siezing. No one did anything! Not even the medical assistants that were there. Me not knowing anything about siezures told someone to hold the door open so we can get some air in the room, knelt down by him and reminded him how to breath and to relax, he kept eye contact with me the entire time. Like you said, it seemed that time stood still. It seemed like we were the only ones in the room. Her family will be thankful for an angel like you to come and hold her even if it was only to let her know that someone was there for her and she wasn't alone.

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 I feel so sad right now...the tears started pouring. I pray that others would not leave me unattended if this were to happen to me ...or rather I believe I'm meaning I pray that one or two would come to my aid. Yes, that is it-that is the source of my tears, what are we doing or not doing as humankind to one another(?) and too being able to relate to being " sprawled out on the floor, helpless and bleeding(if even figuratively), having thousands of people turn their backs, pretending or not being able/willing to see, and having a few come to my aid. May this then, be my public declaration of my commitment to doing my part-being one of the few-if this is so to be the case. Phew-that " K pill " is potent stuff.
