As dust fell and scattered, I allowed the memory of my best friend to break thru the years and once again renew my faith in people. I know you&#8217;d see humor in this and be glad that I do but really it&#8217;s hard .You always found something good in people.<\/p>\n<p>Quite frankly I&#8217;m just dusting around yesterday, coping with too-day and hoping your memory wont diminish as I dust.<\/p>\n<p>I never wanted to be sterile clean, just tidy you see but sometimes today is just too today.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes I think I&#8217;m too loyal to the memory of our friendship as in hanging on to better times.<\/p>\n<p>friendSHIP. Friend\u2014ship. Friendly ship? Ship on a lonely sea that&#8217;s friendly? Don&#8217;t fire on that ship, it\u2019s friendly not the enemy. A lot of thought can go into those two words. A lot of friends are on that ship. We&#8217;re shipping off all these friends? Everybody&#8217;s on different ships trying to get to a friendly world? Aha, too many friendly people so they had to take many ships. Or, ship everybody off and away, they&#8217;re too friendly.<\/p>\n<p>If that\u2019s the case then there must also be unfriendlys. I can see it all now, who\u2019s the majority here now, the friendly or the unfriendly? Then we have all the various levels in between, the not so friendly etc.<\/p>\n<p>Could the unfriendly become so powerful that the friendly leave or give up? Then we have a power play structure and some wish to not play the game of life anymore, too much energy expended, give up. Sometimes the battle is not worth the victory I guess.<\/p>\n<p>I guess my question is, did you not have enough friendly soldiers or was it a complete takeover?<\/p>\n<p>I of course remain your friend and ally in the timeless hourglass, regardless.<\/p>\n<p>Rosie<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tonight I dusted off my books, old books.
