Here I Am, world!

I think of myself as a rather ordinary person. That is, I don’t consider myself to be overly pietistic and I don’t think most of my friends would, either. (Would you agree with that, Philip Del Ricci?)

But I am a spiritual person and I find that reflections or short meditations help get me through the day. I just thought I’d share with whoever is “out there” some of the thoughts that have meaning for me, and see if they touch you in any way, as well.

Most of them come from various books I have on hand in my personal library, and from time to time I may add my own words as the Spirit moves me.

Friendship Forever
Not everyone has true friends.
If we’re fortunate,
in the course of a lifetime
we have a few very close friends,
“soul-mates,” if you will,
a few people with whom we can open our heart
and be completely honest.
A friend is someone we can be our true self with,
a person with whom we can share our deepest joys and sorrows,
one who can listen and accept
and never judge or condemn.
