Friends 2

Coming out of some sub-strands of thought from one strand of many on friendship and community. Again, to friends for friends.


I wish
I could spend the day with you,
walking 'neath open blue sky
bathing in splashes of sunshine.
Warmth on our backs, to fill us with presence;
wind at out side, carrying us forward.
All, it feels, at our beck and call.


Care, though not extinct, remains dormant
even just for moment's glance, being
covered with the canopy of connection and
in-common.
Koinonia's fresh perspectives blow away
Absence's cobwebs: Too-Busy-Meet's stagnant air -
intangible renewal of spirit, of vision.


[...the case for handiwork...]

Made to relate: created for community,
not in reasonable doubt, given Friendship, our
compelling empirical Adjudicator,
that phenomenology of human connection beyond
our explanation, yet we grasp it,
and live it never the less.
