Primroses, Violets and Words on Friendship

Spring flowers are in abundance everywhere. These I found in the gardens at Burncoose Nurseries.

An extract from The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran 1883-1931. This is for our dear friends, J and M.

 

On Friendship

And a youth said, Speak to us of Friendship. 
    And he answered, saying: 
    Your friend is your needs answered. 
    He is your field which you sow with love and reap with thanksgiving. 
    And he is your board and your fireside.
    For you come to him with your hunger, and you seek him for peace…………

…………………….

And in the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures. 
    For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed.
