Proverb
When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our
lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of
giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain
and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand. The friend who can
be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with
us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not
curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness,
that is a friend who cares. ~Henri Nouwen

Beloved

Yes we are [friends] and I do like to pass the day
with you in serious and inconsequential chatter. I wouldn't mind
washing up beside you, dusting beside you, reading the back half of the
paper while you read the front. We are friends and I would miss you,
do miss you and think of you very often. I don't want to lose this
happy space where I have found someone who is smart and easy and doesn't
bother to check her diary when we arrange to meet. ~Jeanette

A friend is a person with
whom I may be sincere. Before him I may think aloud. I am
arrived at last in the presence of a man so real and equal, that I may
drop even those undermost garments of dissimulation, courtesy, and second
thought, which men never put off, and may deal with him with the
simplicity and wholeness with which one chemical atom meets another.
~Ralph Waldo Emerson
Shared joy is a double joy; shared sorrow

the rest away. ~Dinah Craik

you. ~Emily Dickinson
