Life is cyclical, not static. Our relationships benefit when we allow them to follow their own natural cycles.
Like the tide ebbs and flows, so do the cycles in relationships. We have periods of closeness and periods of distance. We have times of coming together and times of separating to work on individual issues.
We have times of love and joy, and times of anger.
Sometimes, the dimensions of relationships change as we go through changes. Sometimes, life brings us new friends or a new loved one to teach us the next lesson.
That does not mean the old friend disappears forever. It means we have entered a new cycle.
We do not have to control the course of our relationships, whether these be friendships or love relationships. We do not have to satisfy our need to control by imposing a static form on relationships.
Let it flow. Be open to the cycles. Love will not disappear. The bond between friends will not sever. Things do not remain the same forever, especially when we are growing and changing at such a rapid pace.
Trust the flow. Take care of yourself, but be willing to let people go. Hanging on to them too tightly will make them disappear.

Makes me think of that verse: "To everything there is a season"
I know it's from the bible, but I would have never heard of it until the Birds did "Turn Turn Turn".
Thanks!
Peace
Excellent reminder, Mel!
And this can also pertain to life itself.
"Let it flow. Be open to the cycles."
Yes!
Thank you for sharing, dear lady!

Oh this is such a good reminder. The bond between friends will not sever indeed.
