Inspiration - Relationships

Posted by Jerry Lopper Nov 3, 2006

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. ~Dinah Craik, A Life for a Life, 1859

Reflection: This week ask yourself if the people in your life, your loved ones as well as your close companions, can feel this inexpressible comfort with you. Dinah Craik is describing an unconditional relationship, a relationship in which no judgement is rendered, no conditions for acceptance are required, and it is safe to be open and vulnerable.
