Your friend is your needs answered.
And 'the field which you sow with love and reap with thanksgiving.
E 'is your board and your fireside.
Since, hungry, I sought refuge in him and for your peace.
When your friend speaks his mind you,
do not deny your approval, nor be afraid to contradict him.
And when he is silent your heart ceases not to listen to his heart;
In friendship, all thoughts, all desires, all expectations
born in silence, and is shared with inexpressible joy.
When you part from not grieve:
Its absence may be clearer in what you love most in him,
as the mountain to the climber is clearer from the plain.
And there is no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit.
For love that seeks aught but the disclosure of all its mystery
is not love,
but a net cast forth: and only grabbing that which is vain.
And the best of you both for your friend.
If he must know the ebb of your tide,
let him know its flood also.
What is your friend should seek him with hours to kill?
Seek him always with hours to live.
It is his to fill your need, but not your emptiness.
And sharing of pleasures smiling in the sweetness of friendship.
For in the dew of little things
the heart finds its morning and is refreshed.
