Some friendships end, but some friendships start over. All it takes is humility to accept one's fault, and say, "I'm sorry, Please forgive me. How can I make things right again?"
I gave this painting to an old friend. Someone who was once very close to me. Thirty years ago, we had some kind of 'falling-out'. A moment of anger destroyed years of friendship.
The stream represents calm and happiness, which I hope to achieve in my life. What is at the end of the stream? ... a loving, generous, caring, loyal, truthful, sensitive, but, happy person, a friend, that's me, betsisanders. I gave "The Stream" to my friend, as a peace offering.
How I wish everyone is like my friend, who asked no questions, who didn't demand for explanations, who accepted, who has forgiven and who loves me unconditionally. Thirty years is a long time, an entire lifetime. I cannot wait for another thirty years to make things right again for others. I have forgiven and have been forgiven.
