Friendship

    There are no shortcuts to friendship. Building bridges takes time and effort. As friends meet and get to know each other, the bridge is made sturdier. The answer to “What are the limits of friendship?” is “How many candles and how many lifetimes does it take to light the universe?” Lighting candles takes care and attention; sharing another’s world takes curiosity and endurance. But who would want to take a shortcut when walking the path of friendship is in itself so rewarding? So take hands with your friends today, enjoy their company, shed a little light on each other’s lives, and build a bridge across forever.
