Parabola's Winter 2004 issue: Friendship Friendship is the mystery of two--of the face to face and the heart to heart, of empathy, compassion, and love. Becoming two with another, I acknowledge the other's priority. I see his or her face and my heart opens. We become one. Response precedes question, forgiveness precedes fault: my friend comes first. We remember this from childhood when friends, imaginary or real, were the first revealers of the world, and there is something childlike about true friendship. It is innocent and opens us to heaven. When we are friends, there is mutuality and interpenetration between us. Meeting you as a friend, I acknowledge and recognize you as another I. Together, we become one "I" in mutual seeing and responsibility, and in that unity something greater arises. --from "The Joy of Two" by Christopher Bamford Visit our current issue page for highlights of this issue!
