"My friendship with the Hitch has always been perfectly cloudless. It is a love whose month is ever May." —Martin Amis, The Independent, January 15, 2007.
What gorgeous phrasing, no?
I just stumbled across it last night and thought you might enjoy. (Amis is describing his dear friend and the oft-irascible author, Christopher Hitchens, who was recently diagnosed with esophageal cancer.)
It is a great reminder that, even for those of us who otherwise hide within our introverted caves, a friendship to survive the decades is precious as platinum.
Whether you postulate 3 people would attend your funeral--or 3,000--may however many tomorrows stretch out before you be bathed in deep, rich, abiding friendships with those who know you entirely and love you nonetheless.
"Life without a friend is death without a witness." —Spanish Proverb
