"I realized I was looking at you,
in your visit, through old glasses.
Speaking old words.
Telling old stories.

Time for my spirit to look at my friend
through the new glasses of current life experiences.

in the currentness of life experiences
and not relegated to the past in which they once lived.

One of the greatest titles we can have is "old friend."
We never appreciate how important old friends are until we are older.
The problem is we need to start our old friendships when we are young.
We then have to nurture and grow those friendships over our middle age
when a busy life and changing geographies
can cause us to neglect those friends.
Today is the day to invest in those people
we hope will call us "old friend" in the years to come.
- Grant Fairley
