Trenches in the abyss

I sat and typed out this whole post about computers and digital cameras and such...but who really cares. It all sounded so...I dunno...unimportant. I read it over, looked at it, and then deleted it. There is so much I could be pondering, analyzing (although my best friend thinks I have stopped the analyzing thing, ummm nope :P) I have just been able to do all of that with someone else for a time. It was so fulfilling. Except, I won't be able to do that anymore. Which is sad. The loss of friendship isn't because of hurt or anything of that nature, but because of circumstance. Much easier to understand and accept that way. I guess. It is still sorrowful, however. And something that will be missed beyond explanation.

Funny how the briefest of friends can make the largest and most meaningful of impressions. When those that seem so long term...don't even compare. I don't think I had the opportunity to tap into all of his knowledge and insight. But then, maybe I wasn't supposed to. What I did, I hold as treasure in my box of thought. He let me divulge the deepest parts, and understood them, listened and offered his own. I should be so blessed to find another like this...

Dive deep, O mind, dive deep in the ocean of God's beauty! If you descend to the uttermost depths, there you will find the gem of love.
