For poise,
walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone.
People, more than things,
have to be restored, renewed,
revived,
reclaimed, and redeemed.
Remember, if you ever need a helping hand,
you
will find one at the end of each of your arms.
As you grow older,
you will discover that you have two hands,
one for helping yourself and the other for helping others.”

“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 J.M. Nouwen,
