people always wonder who their best friends are. i suppose i'm always looking for a kindred spirit- or kindred spirits. kin- meaning related...and kindred meaning related spirits in some way or fashion. not sure if i desire to psychoanalyze all the reasons why i would desire so much for a best friend- but someone to understand and to be there with you- not out of duty or obligation- but out of care. and while i believe it true that we can learn to love others that we do not get along with necessarily or even liken to ourselves- as the family of God- we receive them all as fellow brothers and sisters- and it is this bond that keeps us united.
However, special places of honor are to be set for certain ones- and most definitely best friends- the ones that understand- well....the ones that you can describe in stunning detail what it means to be a best friend- "true friend" that you always smile when you think about them as being ones that uplift your soul. Everyone has their own style of being loved and need to be cared for...and while it true that w can learn to love- and also while true that we MUST learn to love one another- there are some that just....seem fitted to our hearts.
Now there is always a God shaped vacuum in our hearts that only God can fill- i also believe that there are the honored guests in our house that have special place next to us- our trusted advisers....our kindred spirits....our reflections of light in darkest hours....and in however way we describe it- it truly is....the ones that are able to help us to see God and somehow divinely lift us out of the ruts....that make these nights....
just not so dark and not so hopeless
