Life is like little sticks drifting in a stream..
As We float along, fast or slow, New friendships are formed while others are ( forever) broken apart.
We may drift along what seems to be eons-always in the same group, until some hidden eddy of fate snatches us up-throwing us together with others sometimes with such Cataclysmic force that Our lives are interlocked forever afterwards.
Some people are like twigs, caught in an ever-rushing currant: Always striving to be the best, the fastest, the most important..
When they finally hit a calm spot, they realize that they are all alone, in their hurry, they have left everyone else behind.
Now, they have nobody to share life's many joys with..
Others drift along, happy and carefree, taking each day as it comes-ready to enjoy the beauty of each and every day.
These are the people who will, without question, accept each person at face value-never looking for hidden motives.
They realize that we each have Our faults, but that they are out weighed by Our good points..
Friendship based on this trusting acceptance and understanding will survive forever, no matter what changes of fate may occur..
Though We may seperate and drift, We will always be linked by that special, unquestioning brand of...Friendship.
