Love Thoughts 10

Oh, the comfort-
The inexpressive comfort of feeling safe with a person
Having neither to weight 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 tem—
Keep what is worth keeping—
And with a breath of kindness
Blow the rest away.

- Friendship
- Dinah Maria Mulock Craik
