[Explore #452] At Last A Drop

We cannot tell the precise moment when friendship is formed. As in filling a vessel drop by drop, there is at last a drop which makes it run over; so in a series of kindnesses there is at last one which makes the heart run over.

~ James Boswell

 

This is so true and it is what essentially builds a genuine friendship. A friend who isn't just there because it's convenient but especially when it's not. I have had friends like these before and I wish I still have them around.

 

Then again, we meet new people as we journey down the path we have chosen. We choose then again to dispense a drop of kindness... and another... and yet another... until we've once more found ourselves to that last drop that "which makes our heart run over."

And as I previously stated, I'm working my way up all your streams... I will get to yours eventually. It's just taking a good deal of time not because I feel like I'm dragging my feet but because I'm having a lot of fun browsing through all your amazing imagery (and most of the times, that includes reading the comments in your photos too... you'd be surprise how delightful that can get). As such, I can't go on to the next one without ever leaving a note of praise or approval (or a very light constructive critique if it's going to be helpful). A little more patience please and I do hope you don't tire of my unintelligible rantings!
