Evening, Wisdom and Beauty

When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives means 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.
Henri Nouwen
Let us be grateful to people who make us happy, they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.
Marcel Proust
