Comfort

Comfort

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 sift them,

keep what is worth keeping,

and then with the breath of kindness blow the rest away.

–Dinah Maria Mulock Craik (1826-1887)

Sweet to find that faithful hand in the space between me and the other.

via easily amazed.
