And a youth said,
Speak to us of friendship. Your friend is your needs answered.
He is your field which you sow with love and reap with thanksgiving.
And he is your board and your fireside.
For you come to him with your hunger, and you seek him for peace.
When your speaks his mind you fear not the nay
in your own mind, nor do you with hold the ay.
And when he is silent Ur heart ceases not to listen to his heart;
for without words, in friendship, all thoughts, all desires,
all expectations are born and shared, with joy that is unacclaimed.
When you part from your friend, you grieve not;
For that which you love most in him may be clearer in his
absence, as the mountain to the climber is clearer from the plain.
And let there be no purpose in
friendship save the deepening of spirit.
For love that seeks aught but the disclosure of its own mystery is
not love but a net cast forth: and only the unprofitable is caught.
And let your best be for your friend
If he must know the ebb of your tide, let him know it's flood also.
For what is your friend that you should seek him with hours to kill?
Seek him always with hours to live
For it his to fill Ur need, but not your emptiness.
And in the sweetness of friendship let
there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures.
For in the few of little things the heart
finds its morning and is refreshed...
