Friendship

Friendship is a process. Though we say, "I have a friend who....," friends are not possessions; they are partners in an exchange of support, intimacy and affection. The process of making and keeping friendships requires commitment and generosity of spirit. The rewards are great. Like exercise, maintaining friendships requires sustained effort and yields rewards to your wellbeing commensurate to your investment. I strive in my daily practice to cherish my friendships by nurturing them.
