Gratitude for friends

yeah. friends:
like a gold coin spinning
catching the sun on both sides
one side how sweet it is to be loved
(in ani difranco's words)
as is
to wear my mistakes like bad hair
to get dressed in the morning
forgetting my socks
forgetting to shave
walking out to meet you friends
a bleeding heart on both sleeves
& the other side how sweet it is to live
openeyed to you, friends,
where nothing you do or say
could ever temper the current
of love that flows,
this shining being,
this cresting wave,
all this, all this.

There is time only to work slowly.
There is no time not to love.

Gratitude for friends
Today is a good day to celebrate gratitude for the friends in our lives who nurture us, stretch us, open us to new vistas, remind us of our value and worth, connect us to the Beyond, the One. They are as intrinsic to our lives as every cell and membrane and belief we are.
They are ocean to our river and river to our ocean. Thank you.
