Gone With the Wind

during our yesteryears we made no appointment to catch up our close friends their doors were always open friendly warm smiles greeted us whenever we walked into their home not quite so today when plans are made mostly at outside locales the conversations guarded idle banter, wit but less warmth leaving heart feeling hollow inside now there’s no such thing as a 3am trusty friend life as we knew it has collapsed 16-January-2023

Ah, yes, Unseeking! When I moved to the city, I didn't even know I was supposed to invite people over; we had always just dropped in! And I still love it when they do! Elizabeth

Life as we know it - is collapsing into chaos ! No avoiding it. The evidence is all around. Your words are well chosen, but they offer no way forward.

The way forward is the way inward, Peter, left to the reader to recognise and so connect with his divinity within

Quite true. The warmth has cooled down in our relationships ! Then doors lay open and we walked in . Now the doors remain closed. Even if they lie open, no body goes in. Beautifully written Seeker friend.

Sad but true. Lucky are those who still have true friends
