“Oh the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling with another 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 with a breath of kindness blow the rest away.” A Life for a Life, Dinah Craik (1859)

Makes me consider how faithful I am to “blow away the chaff”.
