a friend is that other person
with whom we can share our solitude
our silence
and our prayer
a friend is that other person
with whom we can look
at a tree and say,
"Isn't that beautiful,"
or sit on the beach
and silently watch the sun disappear
under the horizon
with a friend
we don't have to say
or do something special
with a friend
we can be still and know
that God is there with both of us
Henri Nouwen
: : :
be still and know
that
I am God
Psalm 46:10
