“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 with the breath of kindness
Blow the rest away.”
– Dinah Maria Mulock Craik (1826-1887)
Simple good human qualities never change…
