I have been pondering friendship . . . it seems
to me that friendship is the light at the end of
a very dark tunnel, as it were. I have to be very
careful in the dark of winter as winter doldrums
are more like a summer vacation than the deep,
dark space I tend to languish in during the cold
months. I find myself in a myriad of sorrows,
doing my best to cope, and all of a sudden a dear
friend opens a window, a door, and the light comes
in. What a blessing! I wish there were some way
I could acknowledge, pay back, do in kind. It
comes to me that one can never return the favor
to the same person who offered a hand when
needed. Perhaps, 'tis a giant circle in which each
of us helps someone else, and on and on march
these acts of kindness. This must be the message:
any thoughtfulness we each put out in the universe
is a thank you note in kind to those who have
helped us when needed. I certainly have a great
deal of those thank you notes to write!
pray turn on the light
feeling so cold and frightened
sit with me a while
