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 Mulock
Do not assume
that she who seeks to comfort you now, lives untroubled
among the simple and quiet words that sometimes do you good.
Her life may also have much sadness and difficulty, that
remains far beyond yours. Were it otherwise, she would never
have been able to find these words.
-- Rainer Maria Rilke
1875-1926, German Poet

Of all created
