TheBilcourt: A penny for your thoughts....

A penny for your thoughts....

This is something I read tonight. I know some of you will think its a bit too deep from someone like me. I liked it though. I think it says a lot....

You know, just because I post lots of goofy blogs about really unimportant things, that doesn't mean I don't feel like I shouldn't post about things that are important to me. This says a lot about the bond between people that care about each other. I dunno, call me sentimental tonight. Just read it.... I think everyone can get something out of it. :)

And a youth said, Speak to us of Friendship.
And he answered, saying:
Your friend is your needs answered.
He is your field which you sow with love and reap
with thanksgiving.
And he is your board and your fireside.
For you come to him with your hunger, and you
seek him for peace.

When your friend speaks his mind you fear not the
'nay' in your own mind, nor do you withhold the 'ay'.
And when he is silent your heart ceases not to
listen to his heart;
For without words, in friendship, all thoughts, all
desires, all expectations are born and shared, with joy
that is unacclaimed.
When you part from your friend, you grieve not;
For that which you love most in him may be
clearer in his absence, as the mountain to the climber
is clearer from the plain.
And let there be no purpose in friendship save the
deepening of the spirit.
For love that seeks aught but the disclosure of its
own mystery is not love but a net cast forth: and only
the unprofitable is caught.

And let your best be for your friend.
If he must know the ebb of your tide, let him know
its flood also.
For what is your friend that you should seek him
with hours to kill?
Seek him always with hours to live.
For it is his to fill your need, but not your
emptiness.
And in the sweetness of friendship let there be
laughter, and sharing of pleasures.
For in the dew of little things the heart finds its
morning and is refreshed.

- Kahlil Gibran
