True Friends are Never Apart: Maybe in Distance but not in Heart

"The language of friendship is not words but meanings"
Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862)

A recent telephone conversation with a friend was a testament to the connection between us.  She lives overseas and since we last saw one another we've corresponded minimally, and only by email over the last year.  A great deal of time had passed since we were last in eachother's company.  Many months, weeks, and days have gone and we have both had countless experiences the other shall probably never know.  Yet, in the moment we heard eachother's voices we found - complete and in tact - for both of us to feel and acknowledge - our precious friendship - just exactly where we'd left it.  Somehow the fact that our homes are distant, and our daily lives disparate neither makes or breaks the relationship we have which surpasses time difference and geography.
