Friendships don't have to be elaborate--they just have to be sincere. There's a certain elemental simplicity that underlies a good friendship. And at the core of this, all it really is is unbridled enthusiasm for each other. This past weekend, I saw some old friends that I haven't seen in what feels like a very long time. We may all have gotten slightly older--and we'll be even older the next time around--but the friendships have gained depth and not frailty with age. A friend could be telling me about what he did last weekend or what she sees as she's walking to the parking lot and it's more the way they are telling it than the details that reminds me we're friends. Friendship should be content independent. That's because it's only the genuine interest in each other that endures the changing environs. It doesn't matter what topic we talk about: cadavers to Catholicism. It doesn't matter whether we're actually interested in the topics. All that matters is that zeal that's so patent in true friendships. True friendships are hard to find.
