For An Old Friend

almost 2am now. i had just got off from a long conversation with an old friend, someone whom i don't get to see very often at all, but it is someone who had been there for me in my hour of darkness and joy. and when we do get the chance to meet up, we'd have long conversations, and we'd be perfectly at ease with one another despite a long in-between absence before we meet the next time round again.

i have this to say to you my dear friend. many people out there right now probably cannot claim they have been through what you are going through at this very moment. and these are the people that you and i both know: they're our friends too.

and now that i know from your own admission that you have been reading my postings, i'm gonna say this to you (and you do know who you are) - you still have us, your friends. never strangers to you. we'll walk with you.

here is a little something for you from the poet Rumi, you will keep on walking and we'll be with you along the way:

"Come, come, whoever you are,
Wanderer, worshipper, lover of leaving,
Ours is not a caravan of despair.
Even if you have broken your vows a thousand times
It doesn't matter
Come, come yet again, come"
