We — people.........we are so backwards.........and I’m not sure why..........

I have tried to figure it out — for centuries...........and I just have not been able to understand.......

I have not been able to figure out the problem.........or cause.........or confusion.........


We are given miracles..........there are miracles in our life.......... and there isn’t sound effects and
light shows most of the time...............


We have in our lives...........family......loved ones........important people — and we call those people......................................
.........................................................Friends.......

In one way or another, these people have been brought into our lives..........and we into theirs.......

And somewhere along the line..respect.............admiration............
friendship..................love...............Keep the words coming....

But put it all together...........and we have..........a friend........
Friends


And friendship.........like all the wonderful things in the world.........requires work........

It’s true that it is a gift given...........but it’s not the kind that you put on your shelf and look at and dust once in a while — those are presents................

And like most things I say — in written......or.......in verbal form — I haven’t said anything that people don’t already know.................
you’re too intelligent and understand everything.......................

so why the confusion..............why the problem......................
hopefully not a game.........


And we know that friendship (a relationship of any kind)......involves trust and honesty............
kindness and thoughtfulness............
concern and caring.................
giving and sharing....................

in one word — it is......Love......


We know even when these things aren’t spoken or written — that these are things that are involved....................


And we say and we hear — I’m your friend............
— If you ever need anything just call me.........
— I’ll help in any way I can..........
— My door is always open........
— You can count on me any time — day or night....
— You need help — nothing is too big or small....
— Need to talk..................
— I love you..............

I know........there’s more.........................

But We Are So Backwards....................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



If we need to talk...........If we want to ask for help........whatever

— we worry our friend(s) will.......

- think what we will talk about will be a waste of their time.........

— that it is unimportant..............

— that what we are thinking is ridiculous and unfounded...........

— will take offense or misinterpret what we are saying..........

and on and on.............

— we shouldn’t ask to spend the night..........we shouldn’t ask for a ride........or help moving.......or for an ear.........or for time........or..........or.........or, or, or.....................

— we can’t ask for a place to stay.........we can’t ask for money..........we can’t ask for time.....or sincerity or honesty or response............or help...................of any kind......

And again — the list is endless..........



And there is always the pause.....a thought — “should I.......”

and then we always think it through and weigh it out and debate..............


Our first thought is that we will be an imposition on our friend(s).....

Which leads to — if I ask (whatever) — what will they now think of me.........

And that grows into anxiety because you need help........and help isn’t coming.........you don’t know how to make it better........

And then you can’t eat............you can’t sleep........and everything — every thought and feeling and emotion continues to swell.........................


BUT THEY ARE A FRIEND — and by everything that is involved with being one..............there should never be any worry...........

Everybody know what a friend is and what friendship involves.......................................................
.....................................................................................................................................Don’t They


Miracles are here...........Miracles are given to us................
often.....all we have to do is accept........

nothing even expected in return.......


so why are we so backwards..........
