Where are the Samaritans?
Look around
They are beside you
In front of you
behind
Look in the mirror
And let one look back at you.
On the way driving home from work yesterday, I had the radio on and was listening to Radio 2, as is my wont. A guest on Steve Wright's show was a very interesting chap called Jonny Benjamin. He was telling of how he was saved from carrying out his suicide attempt on Waterloo Bridge by a passing good samaritan, and of his subsequent internet search for the man who saved him, which forms the subject of a TV documentary he made, and a book he has just published.
As a depressive myself, I found him, and his work campaigning to raise public awareness of issues regarding mental health, to be quite inspirational.
Another biro sketch made in a snatched 10 minutes at lunchtime at work.
