“When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares.”
― Henri Nouwen, Out of Solitude: Three Meditations on the Christian Life | Fiftieth Anniversary Edition

“I saw you there,
In a dress of virgin white.
Like an angel descended from heaven
To be here amongst ordinary mortals.

I saw you there,
Your big, brown eyes.
Like the moist soil after the rains
Full of hope, courage & life.

I saw you there
Your dark hair, curly.
Like the dark clouds trying vainly to mask
The moons eternal beauty.

I saw you there
Inspiring hope and life.
Like the rainbow that brings a smile after thunder
Lighting and the dull grey sky.

I saw you there and realised the purpose of this life.
Like the firely loves the light, to love you for the rest of my life.

I saw you there and met my true self.
I never knew Love
This was Love. Love at first sight.”
― Prashanth

“When someone loves you, the way they talk about you is different. You feel safe and comfortable.”
― Jess C. Scott, The Intern

“If I had a flower for every time I thought of you...I could walk through my garden forever.”
― Alfred Tennyson
