The ultimate touchstone of friendship is in witness, the privilege of having been seen by someone, and the equal privilege of being granted the sight of the essence of another, to have walked with them, to have believed in them and sometimes, to have accompanied them on a journey impossible to accomplish alone.
Reading those words, I think of a few in my history of friendships who have offered these gifts to me. Then I look into my soul and ask: Do I prescribe to those words for others?
