THE ONE YOU CAN TALK TO
Is there one you can talk to?
BY DR.. Frank Crane

Is there you can talk Co!
II so, you are fortunate. For one of the most
important discoveries a man or woman makes, on
the little trip from the cradle to the grave, is the
intelligent hkable, appreciative, stimuative COM
panion in talk.
1t is well to study and think it is we'll to vision
and plan it is we'll to be energetic in the market,
and anon to retreat into silence and take counsel
with your own heart, but best of all it is to find
friend with whom you can talk things over.
= President Eliot spoke of the fve-foot shelf OF
books into which the quintessence of literature
might be compressed But five friends better,
who represent the gist of humanity, and mean
cultural value, and more fun.
What Joy comparable to pouring out the dregs
of your heart, shaking the fluff and debris from the
hidden of your mind, and turning your soul
inside out like trousers pocket in the presence of
who understands.
1t is the joy of the confeSsinal-plus.
1t is OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
1t is love-plus.
1t is self-knowledge
You can love a woman, and yet not be able to
talk to her; you can admire genius, appreciate
friend, esteem a relative, revere saint and yet
have no freedom of talk with them.
l have a and woman living in
riage contentedly enough for twenty years. and yet
entirely unable to talk freely together.
Well for you if you have two with whom
you can experience the gift of communion.
To talk satisfyingly you must find that one who
can measure with his comprehension and sympathy
all your moods, vagares doubts convictions, antip
athies, enthusiasms, heats, and frigdies SINS and
sanctities.
He may not fatter you approve of all you say,
is interested in them
He does not argue, nor fence and thrust with
you. He takes you, he takes nature, the trees,
flowers, and storms, he finds YOU He attends
more to what you than to what you ought to be.
he has no convictions to which he wants to win
you. He seeks your aid in selfish plans of his.
He does not judge YOU condemn nor praise you.
He just listens, and talks back
When you with him you enjoy a revel in
frankness, debauch of self-expression.
With him you discover yourself. As you talk
you find out what you really think yourself With
out him you hardly know what you believe, With
him as guide you explore yourself finding strange
things.
You don't remember so much what he said
what he led you on to say.
By his stimulus you forge your creed you round
off your opinion, you uncover your testeS your mind
takes FORM you born again.
For remaining ever within yourself you become
lost in clouds of speculation in the dim fogs of your
own inexplicable nature, in the uncertainties of
your own decisions you swamp yourself in the
quagmires of morbdity, wander into self-depre-
citation or fevered egotis1ns.
But talking to him you open the door. the
cleansing wind blows through, doubts are scattered
the sunshine enters and rubbish is disclosed,
beautiful treasures.
The man. woman, you talk to is the gift
of gifts, your other self your true priest of God.
