If your friends are seamstresses, I wonder what they would say? Would a biologist friend find that thread in DNA? Would a best friend, a pacifist, find commonality in humanity? This is an amazing poem, Susan. A 10.

I do often wonder if my friends would make friends of my other friends if they met in a room chock full of strangers. What is it that draws me to them and them to me? Would that draw my other friends to them? Sometimes I just cannot put my finger on the exact thing or things that draw me to a person. Humor and joy in life are traits of most of them. But I do have a couple of friends who are very very very sober- - so sober that sometimes I want to check their pulse but on the other hand they are very kindly natured. Maybe it is all in the DNA! ! !

Rini- - Thank you, Rini! ! ! It is a blessing, is it not? It amazes me how we form so many friendships who are created with different materials, different missions, so diverse and complex

Can't fool you! ! ! It is odd when I thought about my various friends- -how the came from different areas of interest- -but they did have one quality in common- -they had an interest! Thank you for the 10! ! ! ! !
