Comfort:


Comfort another.                                                                                                                                                Offer your hand in comfort, your heart, you home.  Sing a quiet, comforting song, play a soothing melody.  Comfort with words, with silence, with a loving touch.  Trace a lazy circle on the cheek of a crying child.  Stroke gently across the forehead of a laboring woman.  Hold the hand of a dying man.  Simply be present and you will know what to do.  Prepare tea, cook up a pot of soup, toast up two slices of cinnamon bread.  Pull the curtains and dim the lights.  Draw a hot bath with rosemary oil.  Fluff up a pillow, smooth out a blanket, fill the hot water bottle.  Light a candle, massage and rock and hum and hold, and do nothing but be utterly human.  Know that the sweetest comfort you will ever receive is the comfort you so freely give.
