When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives means the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions or cures, have choosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand, that is a friend who cares.

Spirit Dancer · 04-28-2011, 10:50 AM

We do not succeed in changing things according to our desire,
but gradually our desire changes. The situation that we hoped to
change because it was intolerable becomes unimportant. We have
not managed to surmount the obstacle, as we were absolutely
determined to do, but life has taken us around it, led us past it,
and then if we turn around to gaze at the remote past, we can
barely catch sight of it, so imperceptible has it become.

Marcel Proust

The Rain
By Robert Creeley

All night the sound had
come back again,
and again falls
this quiet, persistent rain.

What am I to myself
that must be remembered,
insisted upon
so often? Is it

that never the ease,
even the hardness,
of rain falling
will have for me

something other than this,
something not so insistent—
am I to be locked in this
final uneasiness.

Love, if you love me,
lie next to me.
Be for me, like rain,
the getting out

of the tiredness, the fatuousness, the semi-
lust of intentional indifference.
Be wet
with a decent happiness.
