friendship.
{reverb10 – day 16}
::
How has a friend changed you or your perspective on the
world this year? Was this change gradual, or a sudden burst?
::
my friendships grew like a tree this year
my trunk was strengthened,
branches were added,
roots were formed.
::
a canopy of leaves
formed overhead
that kept the rain
off my shoulders.

A “canopy of leaves,” how beautiful is that. In answer to the question, I think the friend that passed recently reaffirmed how I feel about life and living to the fullest. Even when times are the hardest, when you have love and your family surrounding you, you have it all.

So perfectly said. And what a wonderful metaphor for ‘friends’ and ‘friendships’ new and old!

This is so lovely. What great images. I just wrote mine and my post is pretty snarky… so reading this made me feel like breathing again. Thanks.

well this is just beautiful in every way. visually. layout-wise. word seleciton. and oh that sentiment. that exquisite, obviously-heartfelt sentiment.

Lovely. I admire your talent for getting right to the heart of the matter with deep, powerful imagery.

I found you from Jillsy Girl. I love your site. I’m going to poke around a little bit, but don’t worry I’ll put everything back where I found it!!

What a gorgeous image you painted with your words. I can feel it: the storm breeze, the wet air, the leaves keeping you warm and dry.
