A covenant to forgive
beginning with one's own self
Having mercy on one another
tolerating the frailty and the inconsistency
allowing the other to take a step away first to the side, then possibly
and not rushing the inevitable step forward back toward a semblance of what
was once held in common or held in difference
Tolerating the shadow in the other
choosing not to resist the dark place how ever much yours resembles my own dark corners of existence
We ventured into friendship with commonality that now has welled up as something we might just fear and attempt to escape
because it is too much an echo and mirror of our own turmoil
We did not simply enter this union based on shared joy.
There are times when your creative funnel flows faster than my own and I have a choice:
jealousy and rift
joy and shared accomplishment
The best of friendship is that
once heard
try being unheard
