Merci Beaucoup Dieu!
Thank you very much dear God! Thank you.
Friends. I could write an ode to and for my friends. For each and every one of them. (I know I've written about friends before on this blog. So what? I can never write enough about them).
Today. Unlike many yesterdays.
The sheer helplessness. The complete hopelessness.
No sign of the wintry afternoon.
Only clouds of darkness.
A glass window separating the ground, three floors below, from a mind, ready to jump and lead the soul to higher ground.
Desperation. Clawing at my innards.
Fingers curled up into tight fists of agony.
And then the sheer need to vent some spleen. To open the sluice gates and let the tears drown the cheeks, wet the lips, flow into the neck, resting on the breast. Oh to hear a warm, cherished, comforting and loving voice. To heave a sigh! To share a hug. To be ensconced in the womb of love and hope and joy and friendship.
A simple plea to friends. Just a text message. And familiar voices begin flowing irrespective of the distance. At times like this you thank man and God for giving us language. Words always words. Such a double edged sword. Today they were comforting and assuaging a ravaged soul.
Messages of love and support and encouragement flowed in. And I thanked the Maker. I will continue to thank Him. For giving me the friends I have. My God! Or should I say Gods! I have truly done something good at sometime, maybe in my previous birth, maybe my karma must be good, something, anything to give me the friends I have. Every one of them. Not all friends mind you, are encouraging and supporting and eloquent. Doesn't matter. We all have inadequacies. And it's these imperfections that make us so beautiful. Thank God for them.
I have said it before, I don't say it often. But man oh man, I love you. Every one of you. And you won't know how much. And I thank God for all of you in my life. Again and again and again and again.
I raise a toast to Thee!
Merci beaucoup dieu! (Is dieu the correct French word for God?)...:) (I aim for perfection ha ha ha!)

Another request....
The mail id, which u have specified for ur comments to be delivered to does not exist.
So I keep getting a delivery failure notice whenever I leave a comment here. Not that I'm bothered by it, but when u want to get the comments, why not specify a proper id??? ;) ;)
