Half of the burden had been lifted...

For weeks I had felt that a younger person was not well. Somehow life seemed hard. I invited her for a coffee. We found a good place in a fast-food café. In the midst of the hustle and bustle of a normal everyday life, an honest exchange developed. There were no quick solutions to some questions, but it was good to entrust all the questions to each other and thus bring them into the light. "It feels so good to just say all this!" I was allowed to hear. I felt that half of the burden had been lifted. I felt the impulse to show even more love. "What is still missing in your flat?" I asked. The windows still needed curtains. So we went to a furniture store and got everything that was still needed. As we parted, I looked into eyes full of peace.
