FRIENDSHIPS

 

Friendships have their own lifecycle. There is a natural ebb and flow to relationships. What you bring to relationships is important. I am reminded of the Dalai Lama’s quote in the Book of Joy : ‘

The best relationship is one in which your love for each other exceeds your need for each other’.

Deep friendships are characterised by the significance you place on them, the degree of sharing and confidence in disclosing both heartfelt joyous and challenging impactful issues. Such exposure and vulnerability may only be facilitated in a few of your relationships, where the level of personal disclosure is respected and honoured. At this level of a relationship time does not have any relevance – nothing matters, only the sacred space created within the pure energy, real and true.
