I danced in school today. The dance that I did though, the one I consider to have been most fruitful, was the dance back into friendship with my friend Jeremy. Things got rocky for us for a while, there were times I wondered if our friendship would dissolve. Today we snuggled and talked about his new love interest. It was nice to be able to hold space for him. I used to stay with him when I came to school, his home was mine too for those weeks. It felt comfortable to be able to revisit this place of respite, it gave me a chance to reflect on all that has happened and how far I have come in the last year. Funny how when I am flying along, so much work and change, being caught up in it can make things appear to be progressing at snails pace.
“What does it mean to be a friend?” is the question in 12 days journal #125
To be able to speak one's mind, to act from one's heart, and know that it will be received in the spirit offered.
ReplyDeleteI will just 2nd what "anonymous" has said above, since he/she said it so well. I recently had a friend tell me something that she said she'd never told anyone before, and I felt so honored that she trusted me enough to feel safe sharing that with me. I hope to always be that kind of friend to my loved ones. I hope to always have at least one of those kinds of friends in my life at all times.
