"Grant-it Dust"<\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

Ray Waugh, Jr.<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Rocks need no windows …
\n\t    Most rocks are the same
\n\toutside-in or inside-out<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

I gave an igneous rock away once.
\n\t    "Platonic" was our friendship.<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 "Grant it" it is early in the morning,
\n\t    but I need to get up and write you a note.<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Hi! Trust all is going well …
\n\t\t\tRay<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n

You know, it is good to wake up with a
\n\t    friend on your mind.
\n\tIt is peaceful to return to sleep, your
\n\t    mind at ease … the thought is penned<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Friends are windows to ourselves.
\n\t    We in the Twentieth Century have many windows.
\n\t    * Space window
\n\t    * Of opportunity
\n\t    * Microsoft Windows<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

The window that is most difficult to find is
\n\t    the window into the life of a friend. <\/font><\/p>\n

The heart of another is a "Use No Crow-Bar Zone<\/strong>."
\n\t    The tenderness of lives touching is the
\n\tessential ingredient.<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Lonely is a night alone in the snow …
\n\t    Yet, never as alone as with a friend
\n\twho does not understand.<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Lonely is the time in the quiet of the snow …
\n\t    But, not near the alone as caused by the
\n\tsilence of a friend who looked passed you …<\/font>
\n\t    beyond to someone else.<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

While we sit at our window looking at the
\n\t    world, be sure to remember that we
\n\t"Have a friend who sticks closer that a brother." <\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

All that our friends need and 
\n\t    all that we need is to share
\n\tthe life God has so graciously given us 
\n\t    with other …<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

We need to sit and wait for them to open their
\n\t    life's window …
\n\tWe must never force entry!!!<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Remembering, that Life is Fragile … Private …<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n
