When a friend...a very, very good friend from my youth came for a visit. It was a most happy occasion. It was a time to catch up on everything that happened from the time we last saw each other. A time to know how much we've changed and how much we've stayed the same... to know what our new thoughts and ideas are, dreams and plans or simply what our opinions of things, even random things.
Sharing a simple but beautiful meal with a friend is precious. You look back down the road and reminisce the time you made special and you realize how fun and delightful it was. Things come to mind: the beautiful weather, the color of sunshine, the leisurely dragging of time on this lazy day, the small and long talks and the sound and echoes of laughter.
What a blessing to enjoy all these hues with our eyes that see.
There is nothing better than a friend, unless it is a friend with chocolate. ---Linda Grayson
Life is an awful ugly place to not have a best friend. ---Sarah Dessen
What is a friend? A single soul dwelling in two bodies. ---Aristotle
"We'll be Friends Forever, won't we, Pooh?" asked Piglet.
"Even longer," Pooh answered.
Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing there is a field.
I'll meet you there.
When the soul lies down in that grass,
The world is too full to talk about.
---Rumi
The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, not the kindly smile, nor the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when you discover someone else believes in you and is willing to trust you with a friendship. ---Ralph Waldo Emerson
No friendship is an accident. ---O. Henry
