Friendships I do not make, friendships I find myself in. I find them, or rather not I, but the God in me and in my friends. As Emerson says, my friends came to me unsought, the great GOD gave them to me. A friend is not gained, a friend is given. A friend is a gift. I have always wondered, what brings two friends together? How does one become the friend of another? I cringe at the idea of discernment or taste =S As Jesus says, you have not chosen me, but I have chosen you. May I as well consent with Lewis, friends have not chosen one another but He has chosen them for one another. The heart knows reasons which reason does not, I remember Pascal too. I do not know but I know, and I know more than I can tell, that a friend told me last night. That heartbreaking sincerity. It was what occurred to me as wonderful in our very first conversation. And I am still overwhelmed.

(Friendships found over round chinese chess table, at yih and also over youtube. Hehe. =P)
