Befriending
Not all friends are the same.
There are some people
We are friendly with,
but they are not a friend.
regardless of what Facebook calls them.
There are those we hang with
and play with,
but they are primarily for fun.
Then there are the good friends,
the ones we like to hang out with
and always leave us feeling better.
Then there are our spiritual friends,
the ones that go beyond casual socializing,
the ones who love and support us
and our growth,
They are the one’s who know us,
love us,
help us stay anchored,
really listen
and are with us in good times and bad.
These are the ones we have truly befriended.
Then there is us.
When we befriend ourselves,
we love all of who we are,
we love our flaws and fears
with a desire to more fully understand
and learn from and about.
We befriend ourselves
and let go of perfection.
Befriending ourselves is about
opening our hearts,
to all of who we are,
the devastated parts,
the prostituted parts,
the homeless parts,
the parts we have been running from,
and give all of who we are refuge,
the parts we love and welcome,
and those we do not.
How can we befriend others,
if we have not learned how to befriend ourselves?
