Travellers

Friends come and go in life which makes perfect sense. The depth of these relationships varies as they are made at various stages in life often through shared interest or activity such as work. Once that commonality is over the connection may be lost because there was nothing else bolstering it. The coffee we had with colleagues which allowed us to vent over management's obtuseness suddenly loses relevance when we have moved to another phase of life.

I have no illusions or expectations about hanging on to people and realize that I miss some less once the bond of shared experience is gone. I have a small core that I consider life friends and the rest are passing ships that help us to hone our humanity and teach us to appreciate both our differences and our similarities.

We are here as travellers.
