“A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself.” – JimMorrison
Oh, I do love it, Spidey, when you give me something to think upon, something that is totally relevant to life right now!
Friends are the family you choose for yourself.
There are so many types of friendships; the acquaintances, the ‘specific times of your life’ friends, the work friends, the kids’ parents friends, and the real friends.
You do indeed get to a time in your life when you find that, though you can surround yourself with people on a daily basis, there are only a few people, possibly as many as you have fingers on your hand, that are your real friends.

I made these images this morning with my Fujifilm X-T2 and Fujinon 35mm f/2 lens
and an umbrella.
A sign

birth of a new season crowning
on the
horizon, a shimmering light
of rays as beauty bursts
forth with lovely
flowers
Author’s Note: For Colleen’s Weekly poetry challenge, we are given two words and then must use synonyms only of those words. This week’s words are: Origin and Write. Lastly, we are only to write certain forms of poetry with a syllable count. I chose to write a Butterfly Cinquain and used Birth for Origin and Sign for Write. Come join in the fun!

lay down
thoughts and emotions
make lines
of love
create
what no one has
before
let it be ours

I haven’t read them all,
but I sure have read a few,
Socrates and Plato,
Nargajuna and Descartes,

because Rumi stirs my soul,
but I’d rather learn you
than read all the libraries that are
because my, you stir my heart.
