Spiritual Friendships
by Heather J. Tait
As we walk along our paths
in life, we will encounter several forms of friendships. There
will be friends of convenience, friends by association, and friends
of the heart. Friends out of convenience are friendships that
you might have simply because you both are accessible to one
another. These friendships are common in a work or school environment
as people are united by place alone. You might even term these
friendships as ‘associates’ instead of friends, because
you associate with one another because you feel that you have
to.
These types of friendships
can easily disappear as quickly as they came or they can actually
turn into more meaningful friendships as time moves on. Then
there are friends by association, friendships that exist because
of an association with another friend. You might acquire these
forms of friendships because of your current friends. You acquire
your friend’s circle of companions and make them your own.
These associations can lack strong foundations and even knowledge
of one another, but either way, you respect them as a part of
the friend that originated the encounter.
Then there are friendships
that are few and far between, friends of the heart or friends
of the spirit. You may find this form of friendship with or in
addition to your significant other. This type of friendship is
guided through a profound spiritual connection. They are very
pronounced and spiritually ignited. They can overcome distance.
They can surpass cultural and language barriers. They can surpass
age and even gender.
They do not exist out of convenience
or association. These friendships exist out of respect and purpose.
This unity of beings connects our hearts to our souls. They remind
us and encourage our greatness and contribute to our over all
well-being. These friendships exist on the purest of levels.
They are not sexually motivated. They do not even necessarily
rely on the power of any physical contact. They exist on a level
all on their own.
What these friendships do touch
are our hearts. They leave precious imprints where they matter
the most. These friendships are gifts unto themselves as they
are aligned with our inner workings and details. They somehow
give us comfort no matter what our state of mind and they seem
to blanket our worries with little or no effort. They exist not
out of force, but out of care.
These spiritual friendships
allow us to actually feel the insides of another. They allow
us that close of a connection that typically both people can
feel the others thoughts and emotions. We are attracted to them
because we are intended to be. These friendships may baffle and
surprise us as they can sneak up on us quickly, but they are
friendships that need not go unnoticed and certainly not forgotten,
for however long they are to stay.
