"Oh, the comfort,
the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person;
having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words,
but to pour them all out,
just as they are,
chaff and grain together,
knowing that a faithful hand will take and sift them keeping what is worth keeping,
and then, with the breath of kindness, blow the rest away."
How true! It is an inexpressible comfort to have that kind of friend, that kind of love-relationship with other people. Then one never needs to worry that others will be looking for hidden meanings, wrong emphases, sly inflections in what we say or do. Openly and honestly we can deal with people, and we will accord others the same gracious love and friendship. What is worth keeping, we will cherish. What is not will be blown away by the breath of kindness.
