We Have Some Thoughtful Friends

"If there's anything we need one another for, it's to help us see Life, to hold each other's hands when we have to go down into the basements of ourselves and turn the lights on, to prod each other to spend our days wisely, to urge each other to invest our lives and time in things that matter to us, to point out beauty, to sit with and be with ugliness and grief, to stir up one another's imaginations, to pass hope back and forth among one another that Life can be better in this world: that it's worth our tears and sweat and failures... And to remind each other that being with another human with confidence and quiet gentleness is the most difficult and beautiful thing we could experience."
