What Does Friendship Look Like

TO A FRIEND I ALMOST MISSED what does friendship look like white paper folded again and again captures many things deep within its creases. the folding is the nature of zen quiet, contemplative, meditation allowing questions, in time, to seek their answers. today I explore creases sitting in my garden beside a small pool I begin to unfold.

What a wonderful thought! What does friendship look like? Well, an older man once said to me: "A hand-out is what the state gives to you, son...a hand-up is what a friend extends". Beautifully put, old fella...beautifully put! :) john

..like origami? My wish for you is that more.people will discover you on PS. You are still undiscovered. Me thinks you should become a premium member and put up an avatar. Your work is so exciting.

Thank you Jannie. Yes to me origami. It begins with an untouched sheet on which the two create a history of memories. Friendship in my mind is a being created by two persons exploring. The creases are the highs and lows etc.
