It is not that we carry the same tune; but that we harmonize so well.... It is not that we are so alike; but that the differences complement... It is not that one gives and the other receives, but that both are richer... It is not that one follows where the other leads, but that we walk side by side... It is not about total agreement in thought, but a commitment to mutual respect... It is not about a measurement of time, but a measurement of caring.... It is not about this or that or the other, but it is about all of those things.... It is called true friendship. < !signature--> Peppermint Life is a Wheel [This message has been edited by peppermint35 (edited 10-24-2000).] |

Yes..yes..I did enjoy this, and found a lot of truth in it. Sounds like something I've been looking to send a good friend for a long time now. |

Wonderful expression of what true friendship brings to the table! Where our differences can be shared and bring us together instead of pushing us apart. Excellent writing and message~ |

Thank you all so much for the encouraging words.... This one was inspired by the kind of friend you only find rarely....our friendship I would define as soulfriends Sure makes me feel good to know I might have come close to describing exactly how wonderful it feels!!!Peppermint Life is a Wheel |

'It is not that we carry the same tune; but that we harmonize so well.... It is not that we are so alike; but that the differences complement...' Wow, peppermint! What a great poem! I absolutely loved it!! Every single line is so very true!! sp Of all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these: 'it might have been.' -John Greenleaf Whittier |
