A breath of kindness

"Oh, the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person, having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring them all out, just as they are, chaff and grain together, certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and with a breath of kindness blow the rest away."

--Dinah Maria Craik

Flowers

"Brilliant deeds are not for me...How then, shall I prove my love, for love is proved by deeds? By my little actions, and my little sacrifices! The little child will cast her flowers to God."
--words of Saint Therese of Lisieux
