The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing ... not healing, not curing ... that is a friend who cares.

- Henri J.M. Nouwen
from his book Out of Solitude

Multi-tasking, constantly being in touch with people who are somewhere else while you try to talk with the one beside you... very difficult in our culture to be a caring person.
