Follow up questions leading to truth

There are some truly magical, beautiful, positive people in this world. And I feel so privileged to have one on my side; someone who is courageous and vulnerable enough to ask follow-up questions, peeling off the layers, one at a time, to see the truth in my words and behaviors, simply because they care about me. Nothing else, no agenda, just because they care. And with the same care, offering heartfelt and much-needed words of wisdom, support, and grace.

I wonder how it must be to have such a person in your daily life, as a loving father, partner, brother, neighbor, colleague. Whether some of that magic gets lost in the mundane or if, instead, it blossoms even further.
I wonder how it must feel to be that person, such a strong light and pillar of strength, wisdom, and compassion for others.

I wonder if I can ever be such a person, for my family, my wife, my closest friends. Capable of listening from a higher and more peaceful place.
