Just evoking the word calls to mind the
many dear souls who have been called, “friend” in my life.
In some instances it was just me and a friend. Sometimes
there were a handful of us, and still other times there was
a whole tribe of us. In all instances I recall the “us” of my
friendships, and that is one of the sweetest elements. In
that sense of “us” there is a certain strength. Such diverse
people and yet each friendship has brought to my life a cer-
tain strength and unique lessons and gifts.
I cannot count the number of times I have moved. So
many objects have come and gone though my possession.
I can, however, walk you through numerous artifacts that
each hold a profound history because they have each come
to me through the hand of a friend. I have a book on friend-
ship from Maureen in 1973. While Maureen no longer
stands in my life that book remains on my shelf. A steadfast
reminder of our time standing as friends – that book is a
warm coat I can wear on cold days.
May this book represent the treasured wealth you
hold in the “us” of your friendships. May you use the
abundance of thought and heart in these words as a
way to reflect on your part in your friendships and gift
and honor those who are a part of who you mean when
you talk about “us.” When we have a circle of friends,
we have more fun. We get more done, we feel and are
stronger and we really do celebrate the power of
our “us.”
You hop?
I'll skip.
You jump?
I'll fly.
I fall?
You'll catch me.
