The true friends are far and few between as compared to acquaintances. Picking up on a conversation as if no time has passed is one true meaning of a good friend.

Compassion may be a virtue, but the compassionate soul is most of the time the most used and abused soul in the neighborhood and evidently the most lonesome. Always there for others, but struggling all alone with own issues because compassion does not allow them to use/enjoy the compassion of others. <br /><br />I love these musings of yours. Oh, how we would have enjoyed doing things in real life together - not musing or discussing these kind of truths, but just knowing it while we make the best of the moment. <br /><br />Hugs galore to you :) <br />MartieCoetserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05814639684520742788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6972842281066743802.post-36696812393270900002013-04-04T12:27:15.211-07:002013-04-04T12:27:15.211-07:00"...acted with confidence, whether I felt it ..."...acted with confidence, whether I felt it or not." Oh, those were the days! I wonder why it takes so long for most of us to become confident in spite of the success we achieve. But then, confidence is surely the easiest thing to lose. Whether we are willing to admit it or not, anyone can destroy our confidence in a second, as if it is only a piece of clothing we are wearing. So Corita Kent's quote emphasizes the fact that we live form moment to moment.<br /><br />Deep thoughts in here!
