Sammi :]

''When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those...

who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures...

have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand...

The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion...

who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement...

who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing...

and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares."

~Henri Nouwen~

I have been blessed with the most amazing friends in the world. Sammi is definitely a blessing. For nine long years, we have listened to each others problems, dreams and wishes. We've gone everywhere together and done everything together. We support each other and help fix each other's problems. We laugh until we cry, and make up stupid jokes. Sometimes, we plan crazy things that will never happen and dream way too far...

But that's what best friends are for.

It is bad for the mind to continually be part of unanimity...--The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality...--As your faith is strengthened you will find that there is no longer the need to have a sense of control, that things will flow as they will, and that you will flow with them, to your great delight and benefit...--A rock pile ceases to be a rock pile the moment a single man contemplates it, bearing within him the image of a cathedral...--I think a photography class should be a requirement in all educational programs because it makes you see the world rather than just look at it...--The ability to simplify means to eliminate the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak...--Always remember to be happy because you never know who's falling in love with your smile...--You have to walk carefully in the beginning of love; the running across fields into your lover's arms can only come later when you're sure they won't laugh if you trip...--
