The comfort of feeling safe

The comfort of feeling safe

“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 the breath of kindness, blow the rest away.”

– George Eliot
