Don't walk behind me, I may not lead
Walk beside me and be my friend."
Albert Camus

shining, always new, of all the days that I have lived, I'd
pick the moment I met you."

"Friendship is the only cement that will ever hold the world together."

it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers that someone
else believes in him and is willing to trust him with his friendship."

and impossible to forget."

other there is no meeting, and when friends are far
apart there is no separation."
Simone Weil


"Friendship is the bridge between lonely and loved,
between a glance and a gaze. It stretches from the fog
into sunshine, hopelessness into faith, between despair
and joy. It crosses the chasm from hell to heaven, from
God to man, and from you to me."
Unknown


"A friend is a gift you give yourself."
Robert Stevenson


"Friendship is like money, easier made than kept."
Samuel Butler


"When you love you wish to do things for.
You wish to sacrifice for. You wish to serve."

but in looking together in the same direction."
Antoine De Saint-Exupery


"A friend is one to whom one may pour out all the contents of one's heart,
chaff and grain together, knowing that the gentlest of hands will take and sift it,
keep what is worth keeping and, with the breath of kindness, blow the rest away."
" Arabian Proverb


"Friendship often ends in love; but love in friendship - never."
Charles Caleb Colton


"Please remember, people, that no matter who you are and what you do to live, thrive, and survive,
there are still some things that make us all the same...everybody needs somebody to love."
Elwood, The Blues Brothers


"It is a rare and special thing to find a friend who will remain a friend forever."
Ruth Langdon Morgan

From Bishop Timothy Price:

Thank You For Being A Friend
( Andrew Gold )

Thank you for being a friend
Traveled down a road and back again
Your heart is true, you're a pal and a confidant

I'm not ashamed to say
I hope it always will stay this way
My hat is off, won't you stand up and take a bow

And if you threw a party
Invited everyone you knew
You would see the biggest gift would be from me
And the card attached would say
Thank you for being a friend
Thank you for being a friend
Thank you for being a friend
Thank you for being a friend

If it's a car you lack
I'd surely buy you a Cadillac
Whatever you need any time of the day or night

I'm not ashamed to say
I hope it always will stay this way
My hat is off, won't you stand up and take a bow

And when we both get older
With walking canes and hair of gray
Have no fear even though it's hard to hear
I will stand real close and say
Thank you for being a friend
Thank you for being a friend
Thank you for being a friend
Thank you for being a friend

And when we die
And float away
Into the night
The milky way
You'll hear me call
As we ascend
I'll say your name
Then once again

Thank you for being a friend

Whew, we've been through a ton. We don't just have bags, we have freight trains loaded with Louis Vitton Matching Luggage Sets and Make-Up Cases with Mirrors big enough to share and we always seem to come through it with a smile. Ais is one of those unique people who is hard to describe because there are so many words to describe all the various parts of her very multifaceted personality. Bits of her are reflected differently in each person she comes in contact with. Those of us who have been lucky enough to know her for over a decade might have seen more of the colors she brings to life, but there are more hues to her world than the average joe can see. Speaking of Joe, she's not a Starbucks girl at all, so don't take her there, she will however laugh with you when you get hit on by a guy named Joe at a Thrift store, though she will swear you are in a "Resale Boutique". Part of her charm is in her phrasing, making things seem more or less the way she would prefer, which is usually brighter and cheerier than the actuality. Ais is a woman who sees your inner beauty and reminds you that you have confidence, you just have to open the box you locked it in and let it out for all the world to see. Sometimes she'll even hand you the key. She can sing like a bird when she wants to though she swears she can't. She'll push you to get beyond your fears even if it means doing something silly herself. In a nutshell (because sometimes she is a bit nutty) Ais is great and an important part of my life. If you get to interact with her at all, you will remember it for all the rest of your days.

Yeah, Aislinn. Oh my lovely Aislinn. You inspire me to be more girly. And more outgoing. And less rhino-hided crunchy towards people. And occaisionally toovercome my deepseated fears while clinging to the side of a cliff to celebrate a new moon.

I thin kne of the best compliments is to have changed someone else a bit by being their friend. You, my dear, have changed me through knowing you. And I like the difference :-)

What can I say?
This is a woman who writes Happy Lists every month, loves public transportation, and has a luminous smile.
I am delighted to be her cyber-friend.
I hope to have the honor of meeting her in person someday...maybe for a long ride on the BART! :-)
