Not A Clue

This last fall I was watching the movie "Silence of the Lambs" with a few people. Their is this one scene where a FBI detective, played by Jodie Foster is in a dark scary house looking for a lady who is held hostage. The lady is in a deep dark hole dug in the ground in the house and the phychopath killer is hiding out ready to pounce. Scary ....

The girl in the hole is scared and its dark and she has been in this hole for a long time and she sees no hope. She has no answers as to why she is there and she is freaking out. The FBI agent stumbles upon the hole and looks down to see a dirty and very frightened girl and says "Miss, I am a FBI agent and I will get you out of there but you have to wait" she says "Bitch, don't leave me here".

The lady I was watching this movie with turned to me and said "Wow, she called her and bitch and the FBI agent is going to help/save her".

I said or I am not sure I said it or thought it but "The girl simply does not know who the FBI agent is or that she is there to help her and not kill her or be a part of the hurt" ....

Wow, life changing for me. That night I got to thinking that many came in my life and I shouted and cried and all along people were there to help.

Am I ashamed? or guilty? NO.....That is where I was in my process at the time and like the young girl in the dark hole I simply was very afraid and just where i needed to be at the time so that on a day like today I could reflect on that scene and learn from it.
