my friend

I have a friend and he is a great blessing to me.
we talk, every day.
we meet, every day.
here, insidemyhead.

he is a superb listener, paying attention to what I say, and knowing which parts to let pass right on through, unremembered. he isn't shy about interrupting though. he knows when to derail a train of thought headed toward disaster. I wish you all had a friend as good as him.

he knows much about me, but doesn't pretend to know everything. he leaves room in the conversation, in our relationship, for things to move. I often ask for his advice, seek his wisdom. he has had many experiences I have not had, yet. he is modest and candid. he knows what I am going through, now. he knows from his own experience.

he has set a good example for me, one I sincerely wish to follow. my actions and results will be my own, I know. I am happy with that. but it is nice to have such a good model to guide me.

he has taught me many things, especially about myself. things that are true that I have not known, or acknowledged. things that I need that I have discounted. he has told me "this will happen" and "that will happen" and then, it happened. his credibility is immense. he has been right so far on all accounts. and his long term prognosis is embarassingly positive.

I am so grateful he is my friend.
