" It is because of the
love
of parents and others
that children
are able to grow
and become
themselves. . . "
To give love
is to give the precious
gift of nothing,
space.
To give love
is to let be. "

Which reminds me
of one of my favorite
stories:
A blogger
went to visit
a friend in the hospital.
The blogger fussed about,
spoke to the staff,
freshened up the room.
Finally,
the friend blurted out:
"Don't just DO something-
STAND there!"
In other words:
Don't try to fix me,
just BE for me,
be WITH me.
I want to thank YOU
for standing by
Comfort Spiral-
That's ME !
Warmly, cloudia
