On Friends and Friendships

On Friends and Friendship these are not simple things. You may think they are, but they are not. They are not happenstance, planned or by convenience or choice. Their existence lies in the universe destined long before their time awaiting birth, growth and individual nurturing. An undisputed bond of two, sometimes three or more that lasts through joy and laughter, pain and sorrow, tears and heartache, good times and bad. They and it may disappear from time to time but often resurfaces when least expected but when needed and welcomed most. Friends and friendship guide and direct us on our way, paving the journey through life with comfort and support when we lose everything else. We are not solitary creatures. By nature, mankind is not meant to be alone. God created a companion, even in the very beginning. As selfless and independent as we hope to be, we selfishly want for ourselves, a partnership. sharing of our thoughts and aspirations; bonding of our hopes and dreams; another voice to point us in the right direction along the path of life. Thank you, then friends, companions, lovers and guides for helping me to find my way and my path.
