We crave love. We're unhappy when we can't do love. Without love we become emotionally, intellectually, physically and spiritually deformed. Friendship love is potent. Friends hope for the 'best' good in each other and accept the shortfalls.
Friendship is built on radically mutual equality and respect.
The respect and care of friendship can heal broken families and communities. Bonded by a covenant of tender, humble and generous solidarity, friends the world over seeks only to love and be loved. Friendship is the hidden energy calling nations to justice. My friends are women and men, straight, lesbian and gay. Our love for each other is nourishing and healing.
