I am gratefull for the few friends that I have encountered on line, especially those who are not too wealthy to comprehend the meaning of that valued title. And I hope I did not let anyone down in that respect myself. Although chances are I did. True, some can come dancing across the field like sunshine on a dark day and then leave you to die like a fox on the run, none the less I will. For friendships have an eternal connection deep down inside that are forever - not just another one night stand or a passing fling. Perhaps these are the words of a foolish fool, but who am I to judge my self?
I have pets that I call friends - but they have little choice in the matter. people do. I have absract friends which are my vices and addictions - cigarettes are my life and my wife. Coffee and my loud music - they are the mediums that I once shared with friends, they are here when the old school passes away into a memory of the good old days. I am still addicted to Jesus even - hey! anyone who can make wine out of water is a pretty cool dude in my book. And the great spirit of Mother Nature, who is both a bitch and a comforter. I will always be her friend for she is my mother - mother earth, the foundation for my roots.
But human friendships are even more important then all else. They are the fiber that makes it all worthwhile, even if they feel they are lacking the perfections so demanded by the higher-ups, they are still holy in my eyes. For my eyes cannot look down on them, no matter what, my eyes cannot look up to them, for they are not high. But eye to eye we can see each other - deep into the very soul and heart. And deep in the heart of a friend is a rare treasure that money cannot buy, that a marrage certificate cannot dictate, it is a gift called friendship, it is un-nameable. So be it.
