Quiet

This morning a friend shared some thoughts.
She had been writing, and feelings were flowing.
I listened and then started to speak...share...
I should have just listened.
Sometimes the blessing of listening, and then being quiet is a gift you give.
I am learning that as I walk with this friend.
There is so much inside of her that has been locked away.
As she talks, I listen. Embrace her words. Done. Enough.
Giving the gift of quiet.
