Friendship
“Philosopher David Whyte describes friendship as “a mirror to presence and a testament to forgiveness. Friendship not only helps us see ourselves through another’s eyes but can be sustained over the years only with someone who has repeatedly forgiven us for our trespasses as we must find it in ourselves to forgive them in turn. A friend knows our difficulties and shadows and remains in sight, a companion to our vulnerabilities more than our triumphs, when we are under the strange illusion we do not need them…” Reading this comes the realization that the immense gift of friends and friendship can be underestimated, even taken for granted. This said, reach out to a friend today and say, “Thank you.””
