Our Need for a Witness
Summary
When my sister called urgently, I thought there was an emergency. Instead, she needed my help arranging furniture in her new kitchen. She and her husband had just bought their first house, and we helped them move in over the weekend.
At first, I was puzzled?"what was there to decide? A kitchen table, four chairs, and a jelly cupboard that Dad made, all in a corner without cabinets or appliances. I was confused by her request.
That’s when I realized: she needed a witness to her life.
Earlier, I had discussed the movie "Shall We Dance?" with a friend. There's a scene where Susan Sarandon's character eloquently describes the true meaning of wedding vows: to be a witness to each other's life, to see the good, the bad, and everything in between, so that no one’s life goes unnoticed.
Reflecting on this conversation allowed me to be present and look beyond what seemed like a trivial request.
We all need witnesses in our lives. We need to feel that our lives matter, that someone notices us and what’s important to us.
I love my sister, and I'm glad I was there to witness her mix of excitement and anxiety over owning a new home. It wasn’t about where to put things?"it was about knowing that someone cared about what mattered to her, however mundane.
This confirms a long-held belief: It's not the big events in life that give us our sense of belonging, but the small, often unnoticed moments that truly matter.
