Friends and their friendship flow in and out of my life.
Some flow in for a few hours; like the tides.
In and out; advancing and retreating.
They are constant, but have their own flow and pattern of being with me.
When we are together, we can flow together in the same direction for a while, but then we drift apart and go our own direction. But will meet again...when the tides are right.
Some friends stay close to my shoreline, and some are so close....they are the lighthouses in my heart.
They protect me, shine their light and love on me, and guide me home....to my harbour and safe port.
They are faithful and I can rely on them; in every storm or difficult situation I might find myself.
Some people are the storms in my life.
They bring drama, winds of change, whipping the shoreline with their emotions and needs. Building pressures, cloud bursts of tears, crashing waves trying to erode and change the shorelines of my soul.
At first they didn't seem so threatening, off in the distance. Even as they approach you could sense that they were laden ed with darkness, and were only looking for a place to release their own inner storm...on me.
Thankfully I remembered the previous "storm" this person brought in my life. I think I have to respectfully, let this storm pass....and keep myself and my heart safe.
I will have to let her flow by....and let her continue on her journey.
It's not a bad thing to have fluidity in life, but we all need our anchors and lighthouses to keep us safe.
If this seems garbled, or odd....it is just my heart trying to put into words...the feelings I have of letting someone go. Someone who I thought was a good true friend...who has sadly shown that they are not to be trusted, with my friendship. They had just recently turned up (washed up on my shoreline metaphor)...but now on closer inspection....they are showing that their true colors and nature.
Go with the flow....
and now to wave them goodbye.
