Pondering the evolution of friendship
makes for insightful thoughts. As kids,
we played together. Teen years seemed
to be about how much trouble we could
get into without getting caught! The
parenting years, we were supportive of
each other, possibly hoping we wouldn't
turn into alcoholics!
And at long last, as elders we come
together to somehow sort out a bit of
understanding of it all. Doesn't seem to
matter whether it's in a proper spiritual
discussion or over drinks and chuckles
as well as a bit of cursing!
I sometimes find myself missing friends
of yesteryear; can't help wondering how
they drifted away. Still I imagine, as we
age, our worlds become smaller.
Bottom line though, friendship is ever so
important . . . to be cultivated, cherished,
honored. Bless that effort of trying to stay
in touch; the odd phone call, note or e-
mail! It rather weighs heavily on my mind.
Here's hoping I'll find the necessary energy
from somewhere!
long to understand
friends matter ever so much
want to be a friend
