		<description>This story of friendship reminds me of two of my all time favorite sayings/quotes:

“Never underestimate the capacity of a human being to change.”

And from Zorba the Greek, by Nikos Kazantzakis: 

“A friend is someone who knows your song and plays it back to you when you forget how it goes.”

I hope you all had a lovely weekend.</description>

		<description>Powerful story and one of my all-time favorites. Lessons on so many levels, including how friendships can be lost due to specific agendas and then regained when strength of character (in this case, &quot;characters&quot;) allows it.

Finally, the exchange of letters the two wrote once their friendship was once again on (many of these letters highlighting huge philosophical disagreements) perfectly displayed how two people can disagree without being disagreeable.

Thank you, John, for another terrific lesson</description>
