another one lost and dropped
because of the work schedule that makes
us lose motivation for things
we really enjoy doing.

'we all, if we're lucky, have someone
in our lives like Jack - our first friends,
our oldest friends.'
'if we're especially fortunate,
they remain close to us no matter
where the world leads us.'
'we don't have to live in the same cities;
we don't have to see each other on a daily basis.
friendships - especially the oldest friendships -
don't require that.'
'no one knows us better.
no one in our adult lives saw us
the way we first were,
before the inevitable defenses
against a thorny world went up,
before the layers of protective walls
around us were constructed.'
'we didn't invite the arrival of those defenses;
we didn't willingly participate
in the building of those walls.
they come, eventually, with life -
included in the package.'
'we all have someone
who was there before all of that.
if we're lucky, the someone
is with us for a very long time.
excerpted from the book
'and you know you should be glad'
i've long awaited for a book
to bring me back to reading again.
this one is doing the trick.
