Friendship

A Definition of Friendship

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

Dinah Mulock Craik 1826-1887

Brenda,

That is just SO beautiful! And accurate.

Blessed is the person who can read that, and immediately think of someone who fits that description...

Lovely. I am always amazed at the truth of words written over a century ago. Some things never change.

Brenda, cool!

Beautiful words Brenda. I looked up the authors name and read more of her work. Guns of Peace written Sunday Night, March 30th, 1856, is a good read. Thought I'd share it also.
