What is a friend? It is a person with whom you dare to be yourself. Your soul can be naked with her.

She seems to ask of you to put on nothing, only to be what you are. She does not want you to be better or worse.

When you are with your friend, you feel as a prisoner feels who has been declared innocent. You do not have to be on your guard. You can say what you think, so long as it is genuinely you.

Your friend understands those contradictions in your nature that lead others to misjudge you. With your friend you breathe freely. You can avow your little vanities and envies and hates and vicious sparks, your meannesses and absurdities and, in opening them up to your friend, they are lost, dissolved on the white ocean of her loyalty. A friend understands.

You do not have to be careful. You can say what you want to her, confide in her, tolerate her. Best of all, you can keep still with her.

It makes no matter. Your friend likes you. She is like fire that purges to the bone. She understands. She understands. You can weep with her, sin with her, laugh with her.

Through it all - and underneath - your friend sees, knows and loves you. A friend? what is a friend? Just one, I repeat, with whom you dare to be yourself.
Happy Birthday to my friend.
