Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art… It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things which give value to survival. | |
― C.S. Lewis | |

Along The Path

Flowers |
|
I do not seek to place you | |
In a little box named Joan, | |
I seek instead to understand | |
Why thru you I have grown. | |
Your name is not a label | |
I have placed upon a box, | |
You are instead a flower | |
On a path that I have crossed. | |
Do not fear, Little Flower | |
The longing in your chest | |
We are all a little lonely | |
And perhaps, that is best; | |
From loneliness we learn | |
To reach out to each other — | |
So on our paths of life we may | |
Become as little flowers. | |
So if along your life’s path | |
There among the rocks | |
You spy a little flower | |
Growing in a box… | |
Look a little closer | |
And a beauty it may show, | |
And by this bit of beauty | |
You may simply grow. | |
And growing you will go | |
Further down the path | |
Seeing truly each little flower | |
You may encounter after that. | |

I enjoy life and I question everything and I want to share my joy and my questions. At the bottom line this is all I have to offer you and your capacity for the same is all you have to offer me. Remember one thing – though you many never find what you’re looking for, I will still – always – help you look. | |

Nothing But Pride
Posted in My Journal, Philosophy, Quotes, tagged Dag Hammarskjold, My Journal, On Friendship, Philosophy, Quotes on August 29, 2015| Leave a Comment »
An apology is a friendship preserver, | |
an antidote for hatred, | |
never a sign of weakness; | |
It costs nothing but one’s pride, | |
always saves more than it costs, | |
and is a device needed in every home. | |
— Dag Hammarskjold | |

That Marvelous Feeling
Posted in Faith Family and Friends, Quotes, tagged André Maurois, On Confidence, On Friendship, Quotes on April 30, 2014| Leave a Comment »
Almost all of our fellow-beings deceive us, but a few of us have known the joy of meeting a woman or a man whose sincerity and frankness were genuine, who in almost every situation has behaved according to our wishes, and who in our most difficult moments has not forsaken us. Those few are familiar with that marvelous feeling: confidence. With at least one person they are able for a little while each day to lift the heavy visor of their helmets, breathe freely, and show their faces and their hearts without fear. | |

Well fitted for friendship is he whom men have not disgusted with mankind, and who, believing and knowing that there are a few noble men, a few great minds, a few delightful souls scattered through the crowd, never tires of searching for them, and loves them even before he has found them. | |

The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, not the kindly smile, nor the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when you discover that someone else believes in you and is willing to trust you with a friendship. | |
