It is only natural to question how friendships are formed, and why.

   Time has as much to do with affinity, as does presence. Empathy and understanding are among common thought. Even, without notice, we learn and live through the eyes of a kindred spirit.

   Friendship needs not be complex or complicated, it is simply there. 

   Important is it to be as good a friend as those we are graced with. 

   Life provides us with worthy blessings. All things considered, there may not be an explanation, or even a reason to find one.We simply feel a gratitude, every day and year, even when we are not around to acknowledge the colour a friend brings to our landscape over time.

   Whatever the reason, a solid friendship will outlast the seasons.
