More From George Herbert

A friend is more than a therapist or confessor, even though a friend can sometimes heal us and offer us god's forgiveness. a friend is that other person with whom we can share our solitude, our silence, and our prayer. a friend is that other person with whom we can look at a tree and say, "isn't that beautiful," or sit on the beach and silently watch the sun disappear under the horizon. with a friend we don't have to say or do something special. with a friend we can be still and know that god is there with both of us.

Leaves are usually looked upon as the children of the tree. yes, they are children of the tree, born from the tree, but they are also mothers of the tree. the leaves combine raw sap, water, and minerals, with sunshine and gas, and convert it into a variegated sap that can nourish the tree. in this way, the leaves become the mother of the tree. we are all children of society, but we are also mothers. we have to nourish society. if we are uprooted from society, we can not trasform it into a more liveable place for us and our children.

The service a man renders his friend is trivial and selfish, compared with the service he knows his friend stood in readiness to yield him, alike before he had begun to serve his friend, and now also. compared with that good-will i bear my friend, the benefit it is in my power to render him seems small.
