A true friend is able to see clear through the difficult aspects of our personality, and focus instead on the beauty and goodness welling up from the core of our being. A friend also challenges us to live by our own words, and in so doing, mirrors back to us who we really are. But a friend is also more than a mirror. He or she is a transparent window, enabling us to contact the Divine in new and fresh ways. When each of us embodies some unique aspect of God or Mother Earth for another person, we actualize the Divine Presence in the world, thereby fulfilling our highest calling.
