Journey Be Your Friend
Arrival follows departure and, unless you work tirelessly to avoid them, solitary travel invariably collects companions. One week at Verité Community in Auroville was in depth and breadth closer to a month, or months; so, since departure follows arrival, this leave-taking was sweeter and more heart-tugging than I would have expected from a visit of days. Imagine the hidden places our love lives, when we say goodbye to affections we nurtured for years?
Journey Be Your Friend
Journey Be Your Friend - Mark Schultz
So now it’s time to say goodbye we knew this hour would come for every day will have its night and every wheel turns round and every hand that you have held will feel more empty now
small price to be paid for a friendship we made so long
We shoulder our loads and take to our roads let the journey be our friend the horizon it seems will collect all our dreams but a circle begins where it ends behind every eye that you have held is a seed you have watered well
garden of days in this friendship we made so strong
instrumental
So let’s share a smile and hug for a while don’t let go – ’til the heart is full to touch the skin of this shell that we’re in is to learn that we’re not alone and other skies may wash your eyes with memories if they will
small price to be paid for a bond that we made so strong small price to be paid for the friendship we gained so long
