visibility

“The person who loves you will see you—not just how you look, but who you are inside, what makes you joyfully happy, what prickles your heart, what, in private, your dreams are made of.
“Because the person who loves you sees you, you can reveal yourself even more. Because he sees your great kindness, you can show him the scars; because she sees your pure heart, you can show her the frailties you try to protect and obscure.
“Seeing is receiving. To see another human being is to take him or her in completely, through the windows of your eyes, to the chambers of your heart and the castle in your soul.”
Daphne Rose Kingma
