Friendship:
Oh, the comfort,
the inexpressible comfort
of feeling safe with a person,
having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words,

keep what is worth keeping,
and with a breath of kindness,
blow the rest away.

-May Sarton

I would rather stumble a thousand times
Attempting to reach a goal,
Than to sit in a crowd
in my weather-proof shroud
A shriveled and self-satisfied soul.
I would rather be doing and daring
All my error filled days,
Than watching, and waiting, and dying
Smug in my perfect ways.
I would rather wonder and blunder,
Stumbling blindly ahead,
Than for safety's sake
Lest I make a mistake
Be sure, be safe, be dead
