5/7/21 Thought for the day
May 7, 2021 06:34:16 #
" The ultimate touchstone of friendship is not improvement, neither of the other nor of the self, the ultimate touchstone is witness, the privilege of having been seen by someone and the equal privilege of having been granted the sight of the essence of another, to have walked with them and to have believed in them, and sometimes just to have accompanied them for however brief a span, on a journey impossible to accomplish alone." from FRIENDSHIP by David Whyte.

" accompanied them for however brief a span " Deep one here Wulffy, and this will get some noggins moving this fine day.
To me sounds like what is presently happening here on the stage. Many have come on board and a few have ventured to other waters, but we have been grated the privilege to have shared our lives in such a short time.
Thus a feat that one can not do alone and that i feel is the sharing of Friendship.

It's definitely an interesting interpretation of friendship. It does ring true on the Stage.
