“I hear you, and I’m here for you.”

“It’s time to go.” said Bear.
“But where are we going?” asked Rabbit.

“You can stay if you want,” said Bear, “but life won’t wait with you.”
“It won’t?” asked Rabbit.
“No,” said Bear, “besides, up ahead there might be something wonderful.”
“You think so?” asked Rabbit.
“I think...” said Bear, “if you stay here, you’ll never know.”

“It’s the ability to meet someone — anyone — at a point in their journey, with understanding.” said Bear... “All the while keeping in mind that we can never really know what it’s like to be someone else.”
