“A friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of nature.”    

        – Emerson

On Monday a friend helped me see a higher self when I was cloudy.

On Tuesday a friend taught me something I did not know.

On Wednesday a friend asked after my loved ones.

On Thursday a friend shared tiki drinks and dumplings.

On Friday a friend offered grace under pressure.

Dear ones,

our friends offer so much,

often unbidden, and un-thanked.

Simple.

Magnificent.

May we endeavor to deserve them.
