Warm comfort.

All sorts of friends. A wide variety. I have ‘em all. The most baffling. The ones that disappear. From my life. Because they are annoyed. With me. I don’t live by their lofty standards. By their bidding. I still consider them true friends. Accepting them. In an unconditional way.  Yes, friendship (and love, too) can be pursued. On a one-way street. There can be give. And no take. The other way, too. Take. And no give. I am fascinated. By the dimension of friendship (and love.)  It runs profoundly deep. I have yet to reach the bottom. Or the top. I am immersed. Maybe there is no top or bottom. Just as well. That’s sufficient. To give me warm comfort. –Jim Broede
