Understanding Friendship



“What is a friend? A single soul dwelling in two bodies.”
Aristotle

A good friend fits like a glove. Think of it more like a pair of hands folded together, fingers entwined. The hands are in a harmonic union because the mind is content. They are not separate like two fists. They are cooperative when building a model. They are creative when being crafty. They are friendly when they are caring. They are supportive when reaching out to another pair of hands. When clasped to another, they are non-judgmental. They are nurturing when making a meal. They are in communion when folded in prayer.

How does a soul inhabit two bodies? Easy.  When we are one with God.
