"People who have no secrets from each other never want for a subject of conversation. They do not weigh their words, for there is nothing to be held back, neither do they seek for something to say. They talk out of the abundance of their heart, without consideration they say just what they think. Blessed are they who attain to such familiar, unreserved intercourse with God."

-- Francois Fenelon

Once youâ€™ve said it, it sounds obvious, but I wanted to say it.”
