Friendship is a theme I would not typically find myself writing about. Everybody seems eager to talk about it so why not look for templates less easily surrendered from the skull's network? Yet, the theme is following me around this week. In reading Ray Bradbury's Something Wicked This Way Comes, I found Bradbury recasting an old idea in a fresh way:
So there they go, Jim running slower to stay with Will, Will running faster to stay with Jim, Jim breaking two windows in a haunted house because Will's along, Will breaking one instead of none, because Jim's watching. God how we get our fingers in each other's clay. That's friendship, each playing the potter to see what shapes we can make of the other.And then, my sister caught our "fur babies" doing this:
Are you shaping anyone in your life?
