When you part from your friend, you grieve not;
For that which you love most in him may be clearer
in his absence, as the mountain to the climber is
clearer from the plain.
(taken from “The Prophet” by Kahlil Gibran)


Gemma with Raine in November 2003

14 long years of friendship that stood witness to storms we’ve survived; triumphs we’ve celebrated; joys, sorrows, laughters and tears we’ve shared.

14 long years of friendship that has traversed a generation, the test of time and distance.

14 long years of heart (and mind!) enriching journey of the spirit.

In this lifetime, not all are blessed with such kind of friendship and I look forward to 14 and a 140 years more…
