of friendship

"Never underestimate the power and beauty of love in friendship, for in friendship can be found many things. The first is an unconditional acceptance - flaws and perfections live side by side and may be judged equally and equally disregarded. There may also be found an understanding - understanding that allows us to be who we are and who we will be - and who we need to be at that moment on our chosen pathway. There is a freedom within the love of friendship that allows us to simply 'be'. Friendship discovered to be true and therefore loving is precious, gentle and kind. There is give and take on both sides and friendship must be a partnership. Sometimes a true friend will step back, yet they will always be there. If we have an equal partnership we will accept this, knowing that our friend is still there, ready if we need them as we are for them. So it is with spirit. We are here, accepting unconditionally, supporting when support is needed, stepping back as needed to allow freedom of development of spirit and therefore spiritual progression. Our friendship, as with any other friendship, is unconditional, unwavering and timeless.

In a friendship there can be found a love that blossoms, helps us grow, nourishes and nurtures us so that we feel valued and loved, cared for and needed - we know that if we are needed we are loved - for it is as important to be needed as it is to have a friend when we need them. Again, it must be an equal partnership.

Often when love is lost it is because the friendship was lacking - for all based on love must first be based on friendship. Friendship lays the foundations for a strong and lasting relationship. In the roots of friendship can be found trust, strength, companionship and tolerance. These too are the foundations of a true and lasting relationship between two people.

For true and pure friendship we can do no better than to follow the example of a child. A child's friendship knows no boundaries and does not measure worth as wealth, colour, creed or belief. It knows only laughter, fun, happiness and freedom. In true friendship can be found hope, faith and expression.

All in love is friendship and all in friendship is love."

Quoted from Spirit-Path

it takes two hands to clap, doesn't it? but i feel no motivation for reasons i will not say.

maybe we have reached that stage where it doesn't matter that we don't talk anymore. because some things are just taken for granted right?

but from where i am, its just the beginning of the end.
but then again, its not that you see it the way i do, or bother to see it the way i do.
