Seeking Sunlight

 

"Stay close to people who feel like sunlight."

Xan Oku

One may define friendship as a loosely bound connection, while another may categorize it as tight unbreakable bond.   Some share that a friend is a frequently seen acquaintance while others may say a friend is the best gift in life.

Perhaps the most important element of friendship is how we experience the union.  Do we feel honored and respected?  Are we embraced whether we have succeeded or failed?  Is the feeling of safety waiting for us without criticism or judgement?

Friendship is a shared relationship where both members are uplifted, encouraged, and deeply bonded while being 'seen' and 'heard'.  Standing in the middle of a storm or seeing the eye of a hurricane, one must turn and run, seeking the warmth of sunlight!
