The Sweetness of Friendship

“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”.

Kahlil Gibran (1883-1931)
Lebanese poet, writer and visual artist


In the late 1990’s I stayed with friends in Boston, Massachusetts. It was October, and on my birthday I took a flight in a light aircraft from a local airfield to see the famous ‘fall colours’ from the air - a fantastic experience. In the evening, my friends hosted a delicious meal in my honour and gave me this unusual little pill box as a birthday gift. Lovely memories of a long-standing friendship which endures to this day.

A very standard Sunday today, with nothing of particular note to report.
