Beautiful Summer Morning

Time to build a framework of friendship again. New era, new beginning. College made us completely separated -

Juliet took up Anthropology while I finished Advertising. Three and a half decades and nothing had changed. I’m now in the tropical part of the down under. She chilled it out in a much colder place. Nevertheless, despite our (still) busy separated lives, we’re still in touch - by wire or by mail. Very much intact!

We hear old favourites enough to make us stop and slide back… lost somewhere in time, and get embedded with such surges of precious recollections…. those unforgettable moments. You are adrift … afloat…. and magically suspended in time. Time to ponder on events that drew big impacts on our strengths and weaknesses. Time to watch that stage play where we were once a mere character…. and your friend, a key player.

I would say that the thrust of my life has been initially about getting free, and then realizing that my freedom is not independent of everybody else. Then I am arriving at that circle where one works on oneself as a gift to other people so that one doesn’t create more suffering. I help people as a work on myself and I work on myself to help people.

We are all in this together. How many, 6 billion, all on the same boat. I think we need to learn to row together. We are all interdependent.

Have a wicked Wednesday.

Take Joy In The Moment,
