12-18-13 RMB More the Merrier
Dear Rita Mae Brown,
Friends
make the world go ‘round, perhaps a slight overstatement, but not by
far. On this day, one friend who is now a part time employee, worked in
the morning, like she used to do every morning. Man, I’ve missed her
there to greet me as I pour my first cup of coffee. Together we work to
make the small business profitable.
Another
friend spends evening hours going over her most recent ventures. She
tells me of her plans to paint furniture and I share my latest RMB
letters and America book 2 plot.
Somewhere
in there I mention a conversation with a buyer, a professional
associate for several years. Today we connected over tarot cards and job
shifts, things not normally discussed in the regular course of
business. She’s a kindred spirit.
And
there you have it, highlights of a day filled with friendship. In all
our days, there are moments when a friend’s presence effects an outcome,
be it small or large, either through a memory or past experience and
encouragement, or by their participation in our current dialogue with
life.
I
think of the conglomeration that is the Oak Ridge Fox Hunt Club,
including, yet not limited to generations of friends: human, canine and
equine. Birds gather to say, “They are at it again” and take flight to
join, or avoid, the event.
Friends, it takes all kinds and the more the merrier.
Yours truly,
