Friendship is precious
Witness to our imperfections and our glories. Threatened by neither.
See right past our petty selves.
Asks us to be more whole than we usually ask of ourselves, yet at the same time they do not judge us when we fail to step up and out.
Wipes the snot from our nose when we are broken, dances with us when we soar.
In those moments when the light they reflect is too hard for our brokenness to bare a friend will not leave the room when we attempt to evict them.
Nurtured over years, friendship is precious. Never to be taken for granted. Seeking cultivation as one would the most rarest of plants.
Perhaps today be a friend to yourself. Treat yourself as the beloved friend. Buy flowers, make a nice meal. Look in the mirror with love.
