08-16-24 The Power of Friendship: Mark Nepo
The thing worth keeping alive for the rest of time, is friendship itself. For being seen and heard empowers us to stand by our core. When standing by our core, we have the strength to be fully who we are. When fully who we are, we become humble instruments for each other’s inevitable transformation. At our best, we serve as inadvertent catalysts for each other’s eventual illumination. Coming together like this is intrinsic to our nature and helping each other transform is one of the deep purposes of friendship.
