Your friend is your needs answered.

You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

Let there be spaces in your togetherness, and let the winds of the heavens dance between you.

Be like the flower, turn your face to the sun.

Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding.
