He and I go back a very long way but were made closer as we both had Cancer at the same time. As I was undergoing my operation, he was undergoing a similar Op. We don't live far from each other and we met up as we recovered and talked (a lot) about our experiences and what we learned from it. It was he that put me on to Eckhart Tolle and we subsequently went on the change the world (well we could have done) going on our Odyssey. We collaborated together for a number of years, both leaving our jobs to do the right thing.
I'm an INTJ and so I have very few close friends and he's not one of them! He's just a great guy, sound as a pound, level, straight and we very rarely get above a slight inflection on our voices. We don't always agree but we listen to each other's points of view and do our research and that's great.
There's a great place for Breakfast locally, a little expensive but good quality, nice service and today, I even had a beer afterwards rather than a coffee. He listened to my woes and I his and we concluded that the world has probably gone to hell in a handcart and how everything these days is ugly and angry.
We get trapped into things too, things that weren't part of our own plan but stuff you are doing for somebody else because you are a nice human being. Then you get shafted for it. It truly makes me want to just drop absolutely everything and go away somewhere near the sea, with my music, books and that's about it really. It would be bliss but you've all the other calls on your time which preclude you from doing the things you love or want to do.
I think that the note to myself is to work hard this year on what do I want out of life? I can say that the present isn't impressing me greatly and I lurch from one bad actor to another and I just want out of it. Would like to tell these hangers on to just F right off. It's easier said than done of course, or else I'd have done it ages ago.
Happy Easter to all.
