There indeed are people - open-minded - who regard anyone as their friend, at first at least. - To me, this seems to be a "rare" gift, as they seem to be coming from an opposite side of the "usual" spectrum (i.e. someone has to "earn" my friendship in the first place, ...or else I shoot, or bomb 'em).

and live for a moment with a clearer,
perhaps even with a fiercer life
because of our quiet,
our silence.
