TREE OF FRIENDSHIP

Friendship is like a tree. It starts with a seed: a smile, an introduction or a handshake. It needs care and nurturing: phone calls, text messages, or meeting for lunch. Visit when there is a happy occasion or a sad event. You nourish the friendship with jokes, stories and laughter. The tree can live a lifetime, giving you shade and protection from the oppressive heat of loneliness. 

Nurture the friendships you value. Don't let work and routines take precedence over your relationships. Likewise, don't let careless words or actions, like an axe to a tree, destroy what you have spent such a long time nurturing.
