Friendship

"Oh, the comfort- the inexpressible comfort of
feeling safe with a person.
Having neither to weigh thoughts,
Nor measure words-but pouring them
All right out - just as they are-
Chaff and grain together-
Certain that a faithful hand will
Take and shift them-
Keep what is worth keeping-
And with the breath of kindness
Blow the rest away."

-Dinah Maria Muock Craik
