Friendship

I read this piece (actually I stumbled upon it) while looking for a piece of artwork by Mark Knustler via Google.

I was searching for an image of Stonewall Jackson referenced as ‘Divine Guidance’ and found this brilliant and concise piece of text …

I wanted to share it with my friends here on RB … you know who you all are!

I hope you feel the meaning as you read the words as I did …

so this is from me to you …..

Friendship

Whether by
strange coincidence
or divine guidance
in the course of our life
we cross paths with
many people.

Some move towards us,
others move away.
Some we choose to remember,
others to forget.

But with a special few
we seem to have no choice,
for each has made an impact
on the other, and their
memory will live on forever.

These people we call friends.
You, to me, are such a one.

    I believe that love and friendship is often not a choice. That an energy from a very deep place has some special meaning to the relationship. For this reason I beleive we should really embrace our feelings as much or more so than our actions. So many of us sever ties with people who act badly towards us without searching for deeper reason.

    perhaps !
