Everybody hurts, I think. But if you can meet some people who can lessen your pain just by being themselves... Well, things do seem better after that. Some people just seem to carry a little circle of soothing shade around with them, like an unseen umbrella. Some of us are lucky enough to have them stand near enough to us that we can rest in that shade. Sometimes that invisible umbrella is over our own heads and we don't know it, and we can't fathom why people lean toward us to get out of the sun.
God bless the umbrella-folk. There should be more of them.
