To A Decades-Long Dear Friend

Thank you for taking my call the other day.  You made a difference in my day, as always.

Thank you for making your call tonight.  I am here to help in any way I can. 

My promise to you:

"Philia (φιλία, philía) means "affectionate regard, friendship", usually "between equals". It is a dispassionate virtuous love.[ In Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics, philia is expressed variously as loyalty to friends ("brotherly love"), family, and community; it requires virtue, equality, and familiarity."  from wikipedia

I will do all I can to be a part of the community to be built.  You are a foundation in mine.

Demand the dividends from your faithfully investments.

The mental maritime environment in our heads is complex and dangerous.  HOLD FAST.  One hand for you, one hand for the boat at all times.  Don't leave the ship until you must step UP to get into the lift raft.

We'll talk again soon,
