The Friend Commandments.

1) Keep my secrets as if you are paid to keep them.

2) Naturally treat me like I won the lottery and my check is in the mail.

3) Know that encouragement supercedes congratulations (not the other way around).

4) Guard my heart like your chest plate shields your own.

5) Stab me with a spoon in the front, rather than with a knife in the back.

6) Good or bad, tell me (not someone else) what’s on your mind-especially if I’m the one who put it there.

7) Be “me.” Represent and be able to present: “me,” like I would-me-when I am unable to be there to present and represent myself.

8 ) Feel “me” when I am not feeling myself.

9) See “me” when I do not see myself.

10) Hear “me” when I am not hearing myself.

This reciprocates. Then it oscillates.

Air between.
All ten equals sun in.
Never dissipates.
All-terrain.
All-weather.
No if’s, and’s or but’s.
No fair-weather…
Minus one command:
Bends.
Ends.
Thunder.
Blunder.
Rain.
Nothing to claim. Nothing to venture. Nothing to gain.
Just: fair.
My friend.
