Right now, my mind goes directly to the dance of friendship. The give. The take. The ups. And yes, the downs. Through our journey God directs not only our steps, but the people in our lives. I do wonder sometimes why God has brought some people there. Not only that, but why some do not stay longer.
It is hard because when we don't know how long some one is planning on staying, we don't know how much to let some one in. Friendship takes time to build. It takes to peel away layer by layer. Also, how much we can trust some one directly affects how much we will hurt when they are gone.
Yet, without that chance...without us opening up and letting people in...we are just cars driving in taxis yelling to each other out the window. But, with letting people see the real you, seeing the tears falls, and the barriers break away ....we each become a beautiful dancer in the ballet of life.
Each of us taking the lead at times. Each of us lending support to one another. The Dance of Friendship. It takes each of us doing our part to make it beautiful.
STOP!

YES - the dance of friendship, so true. It needs to be reciprocal too. 'It takes each of us doing our part' - couldn't agree more!
"The Dance of Friendship. It takes each of us doing our part to make it beautiful."
Oh, this is so, so true. I pray that I will do "my part" well. That I will look to the other's interest, support the other, encourage the other, and bet he biggest cheerleader for the other.
Beautiful post on dance. :)
Hi neighbor...I was just at a dinner with friends last night...we were talking about this very thing...I love the quote...happy Friday to you~
So true. I loved this. Friendship really is a dance, and at times it's just for a season. I'm right in the middle of that lesson right now! Thank you for this!
