Listen

It is so personal and so indiscernible that no one can ever really feel another person's grief.

I can empathize and imagine. I can feel my love for you and my need to ease your suffering.

But even, with all of that,  I still don't really know.

And that is why I listen -- with my ears and head and heart -- just listen as you pour your heart out into mine and I feel the blessing of being here for you.
