Friends near and far
I was speaking to a friend I met in the cyberworld the other day and we decided we are sisters from different mothers. And so it goes in life that you meet people, near you, far away from you, virtually, and even in books and so your life becomes this full tapestry of riches.
Last night in preparing for a dinner party here at the LaLa which was wishing fare thee well to one of T’s colleagues who has gotten a great position elsewhere, one who has received tenure here, and others a thank you for help on recent projects that I got a phone call out of the blue – an ex colleague and friend who has always blazed a path totally of his own making – he said he was calling to check in on me and see that I’m okay. Yes, thank you. And thank you.
Similarly, I received an email from an ex colleague and friend who was checking in from the West Coast – similarly, thank you, and thank you.
In my hour of need, I close my eyes and reach out my fingertips and all around me are friends nibbling, caressing, tickling, and holding my hand.
Now let us thank our friends.

Rachel, you’re a power of example, showing the beauty of Asking…and showing the strength in humility, a quality which does not come easily to some of us. Thank you for showing the way!

Anne – you’re right – does not come easy to some of us and makes all the difference in the world. R
