When you’re touched profoundly by someone while you inhabit liminal
space, the one who touched you becomes quite special to your soul.
"The world breaks every one and afterward many are strong at the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry."
~ Ernest Hemingway, A Farewell To Arms

"Our lives disconnect and reconnect, we move on, and later we may touch one another, again bounce away. This is the felt shape of a human life, neither simply linear nor wholly disjunctive nor endlessly bifurcating, but rather this bouncey sequence of bumping into's and tumblings apart."
~ Salman Rushdie, The Ground Beneath Her Feet
A very lovely picture, your friendship with one another shines through......
ReplyDelete"I do not want to treat friendships daintily, but with roughest courage. When they are real, they are not glass threads or frostwork, but the solidest thing we know. The two requirements for lasting friendship are truth and tenderness." Ralph Waldo Emerson
We need true friendship first in a relationship.
