Oh, the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of
feeling safe with a person;
having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words,
but to pour them all out, just as they are,
chaff and grain together,
knowing that a faithful hand will take and sift them,
keep what is worth keeping,
and then, with a breath of kindness,
blow the rest away.

Wonderful image, wonderful sentiments... as always! Thanks for sharing it!
Oh, the comfort indeed. Such friends are few and far between. I'm just thinking how ironic this is coming from a woman who changed her name to a man's that she might get away with expressing her genius as an author! She must have felt these words very deeply.
Happy New Year, Cybercelt!
