A Friend Kindly Blows Away Our Untransformed Words


"Oh, the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person, having neither to weigh thought 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."
