I have been vividly reminded these past weeks of how blessed I am with quality friendships. I am SO not alone. I find life hard often, but I have such loving and tender support. I regret that I do not always see it embracing me; lies of loneliness are awfully effective.
I identify with the ancient Hebrew symbolism of water-- vast and stormy oceans of water-- signifying chaos. I long for still waters, a calm blue bay, but my voyage often leaves me feeling adrift and storm-tossed. But I'm not alone in the boat. My friends journey with me, sometimes offering me care that I don't even know I need until it's offered.
I don't have time to explore this further this morning, but will come back to it, I think, to fortify my sense of companionship in this crazy thing called life. In the meantime, thank you my friends for the times you know me better than I know myself, for the times you force me to challenge my views, for the grace with which you love me.
