Friendship

Frank Weston Benson – Summer

Piglet sidled up to Pooh from behind.
“Pooh!” he whispered.
“Yes, Piglet?”
“Nothing,” said Piglet, taking Pooh’s paw.
“I just wanted to be sure of you.”
A.A. Milne

You can’t stay in your corner of the Forest waiting for others to come to you.
You have to go to them sometimes.
A.A. Milne

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

Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another:
“What! You too? I thought I was the only one.”
C.S. Lewis

The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand,
not the kindly smile,
nor the joy of companionship;
it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one
when you discover that someone else believes in you
and is willing to trust you with a friendship.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
