“There is a twilight zone in our hearts that we ourselves cannot see.
Even when we know quite a lot about ourselves-our gifts and weaknesses,
our ambitions and aspirations, our motives and our drives-large parts of
ourselves remain in the shadow of consciousness. This is a very good
thing. We will always remain partially hidden to ourselves. Other
people, especially those who love us, can often see our twilight zones
better than we ourselves can. The way we are seen and understood by
others is different from the way we see and understand ourselves. We
will never fully know the significance of our presence in the lives of
our friends. That's a grace, a grace that calls us not only to humility,
but to a deep trust in those who love us. It is the twilight zones of
our hearts where true friendships are born.”
