July 2: Friendship
I will value the comfort of friendship and hold a true friend dear. Soul
is expressed through human relationship; care of relationships is care
of the soul. Relationships are what trigger my anxieties. Intimacy acts
like a black light under which my emotional cracks show up. In a close
friendship I have an opportunity to see and feel those cracks, to allow
them to be looked at so that I can work with them and heal. A friend is
someone with whom I can explore my limits and become more of me.
I value friendship in my life.
Friendship is the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe
with a person, having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but
pouring all right out just as they are, chaff and grain together,
certain that a faithful, friendly hand will take and sift them, keep
what is worth keeping and with a breath of comfort, blow the rest away.
George Eliot
