awww sweet!

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 then with the breath of kindness blow the rest away.

-- from "A Life for a Life", Dinah Maria Mulock Craik (1826-1887)
