Girlfriends
She helps me with everything. From art to every other expansion of the heart.
She is my prophet of integrity.
She is practical and mystical, a family woman, an honest soul.
She and I meet once a week for talk and treats, like linzertorte and carrot cake. Living is our subject. I love how we live in one another’s presence.
She reads me well and with elation, the way a person who cares about a poem pays attention to it.
She sings the songs she writes, she plays guitar, she thinks of serving others because she is aware of generosity. She follows through.
She instructs me in the asanas that inform my every movement.
She puts me in the place that anyone would call love.
She is as auspicious as the black jaguar that attached itself to my leg in a dream last week.
She is my oracle, giving word of my own state of being.

Oh my God! That is so beautiful! Yes–there is nothing like true girlfriends! They always have the best intentions and help us grow in ways that are best for us individually–never stingy with their energy and investment in us! Girlfriends are so different in that way from most boyfriends and lovers where often it becomes not about the individual growth, but the growth of two units coming together as one, creating a different unit altogether. Good girlfriends are a gift from heaven!
sweeter than carrot cake
true as moon rise
freer than butterflies
creative as bird songs
smitten as a teen crush
grooving smile wrinkles
expanding our beings
good for our health
are our passing encounters
How sweet friends are! What a wonderful tribute to a person and to the whole wonderful notion of friendship.
