You Are As Old As Your Despair.



(Despair: I need someone to care who is not there.)



“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 healing, not curing... that is a friend who cares.”

- Henri Nouwen


That is a friend indeed. Rare.

“You are as young as your faith, as old as your doubt; as young as your self-confidence, as old as your fear; as young as your hope, as old as your despair”

- Author Unknown


When I'm as old as my despair, I need a friend who cares. Who may not be there. Despair.

Wisdom doesn't necessarily come with age. Sometimes age just shows up all by itself.

And Wisdom got left behind.
