I was blessed this weekend with time spent between friends, What was spoken meant volumes…an offering to be “someone who gives a shit” to help me with a task. What wasn’t said was equally as important, perhaps even more so. Extended hands, smiles, laughing, hugs….you know…gestures of companionship, tenderness, caring and loving…I am so blessed with these friends.
A Friendship Blessing
May you be blessed with good friends
May you learn to be a good friend to yourself
May you be able to journey to that place in your soul
Where there is great love, warmth, feeling and forgiveness.
May this change you
May it transfigure that which is negative, distant or cold in you
May you be brought into, the real passion, kinship and affinity of belonging.
May you treasure your friends
May you be good to them
And may you be there for them
May they bring you all the blessings, challenges, truth and light
That you need for your journey.
May you never be isolated
But may you always be in the gentle nest of belonging with your Anam Cara.

((hugs)) You have such a wonderful vision for expressing your feelings dear sister friend. I’m so glad you’ve found a support for your important something…*grins* Don’t spose its a good spanking? LOL!
That would be one, lol. But the really important thing is quitting smoking. ((hugs))

Friends are the fabric of our life. I have John O’Donohue’s Anam Cara sitting on my book shelf. Great book.
There is nothing better, Mark! I need to get that one. I end up pulling bits and pieces from online…about time I just ordered it.
