" Friends
are as companions
on a journey,
who ought to aid
each other
to persevere in the road
to a happier life. "
Pythagoras
“Sincere deeds
invite new friends.”
Toba Beta
" Truth springs from
argument
amongst friends. "
David Hume
" Only the solitary
know the full joys
of friendship.
Others have their family;
but to a solitary
and an exile
his friends are
everything. "
Warren G. Harding
(-'.'->
Friendship
has it's rhythms
just like everything
else in life.
The surge and thrill
of recognition,
The pleasure
of learning
about each other.
Joys & irritations.
If you idealize people,
real humans
will
inevitably disappoint.
But if you take them
as they are
people can
surprise you.
The best friends
don't last forever,
some go away
and some
come back.
Some are gone
way too soon.
But when someone
touches our heart,
mind, spirit,
they remain with us
always.
We would not be
the same
without them.
Thanks, Friend
