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 a breath of kindness
Blow the rest away.
- George Eliot
