Friendship...

Friendship is not something you pick up when it is new and keep around as long as it is easy !!!

Friendship is: Raw and uninhibited. Earthy and based in reality.

When all else fails your friends keep you safe....Safe from yourself and even from them, at times.

In the darkest of hours they love you back to yourself. They love you in spite of yourself...

More precious than gold, more trustworthy than family.

They wrap you in a blanket of balance when the world is driving you to the brink of insanity.

They can manage to drive you crazy, just when you believe yourself sane.

Thank you for my laughter when the jokes of the world are not really funny and tend to hurt...

Thank you for absorbing the tears, when the oceans I have cried seem to be without shores.

Thank you for allowing me to "Just BE'" without expectation, judgement or condemnation.

Thank you for the clarity in the midst of life's fog. You are Safe Harbor....
