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 with a breath of kindness
Blow the rest away.

These are really beautiful and true words, Zanka. Lucky those who can say they know this from their own experience.
One hint: It would be nice to place the name of the author when you're quoting.
i thought it was her own confession. uuh zanka ;)
I wish I knew the author...
...yeah, maybe next time I'll create something of my own...
The author is Dinah Maria Mulock Craik. Remember our classes in Google searching? If you want to find a particular phrase in context or, like here, a source text of it, put a sequence of a few words between double quotes. This way you will get lots of sites which quote the same text. :)
