can cause us to neglect those friends.
Today is the day to invest in those people
we hope will call us "old friend" in the years to come.

the loved one is free to be himself -

and can never grow in a jealous heart.

relax into being ourselves,
play with our inner child,

hang "go away" on the door whenever we want,
clean and tidy often... or never,
launch from and return to,
are truly ourselves.
