True Friendship withstands Harsh Winds of Time

 


True Friendship


Is a Plant of Slow Growth



True Friendship


Must undergo and withstand
the shocks of adversity 



"True friendship 
is a plant of slow growth,
and must undergo and withstand 
the shocks of adversity
before being entitled to the honor of it's name."

George Washington



"Of all things which wisdom 
provides to make life entirely happy, 
much the greatest is the possession of friendship.

Epicurus


Rekindle Lost Friendships

If friendships have fallen by the wayside 
in the tumultuous days of past,
you can always rekindle those ties
after adversity has torn them apart.


Trust

True friendship IS a plant of slow growth
that WILL withstand the harsh winds of time.


Kiss and Make Up

True friendship can withstand 
the ups and downs
that occur over a lifetime.

Don't be afraid to revisit the relationship.


Reach Out

If you value the relationship,
reach out with love and understanding
to heal the fractured friendship.
Be patient.

Many thanks to Colleen McGinn whose friendship 
has grown slowly over distance and time, while
withstanding my incessant scribbling over her artistically
perfect photos of nature and food.
