Friends

 

Friends, both young and old, old and new,

enrich our lives . . my life . . in so many ways.

We share things as frivolous as jokes and gossip,

as profound as our most cherished thoughts and dreams,

our trust.

 

For me, friendship does not blossom easily,

yet when it does, it is almost instantaneous,

borne of a handshake, or a smile,

an intuitive connection that goes beyond words,

beyond knowing.

 

On a Trip to Zurich

I met Melissa, the lovely girl in the photo above,

at my nephew's wedding in Germany.

She was the friend of the equally lovely Jennifer, sister of the bride.

Together with the groom's brother, Nate,

(also my nephew, if you're following the math)

and his great friend Greg,

the five of us spent a week together,

sightseeing and eating ice cream during the days,

exploring the ruins of old castles by night,

and becoming friends.
