A Patch of Blue sky is a welcome sight.
This is true whether we are in flight physically, mentally (imagination), emotionally or spiritually.
White clouds and dark clouds can obscure sight. These are most commonly perceived; however cloud colors vary over a wide range and can even be red, gray and other colors. Sometimes the entire sky is blue and then clouds intrude and only a patch of blue remains.
Sometimes the entire sky is cloudy and then a patch of blue intrudes.
Either way, a patch of blue sky usually elicits a sigh of relief and respite from that which obscures sight and interferes with clarity of understanding.

A friend is like a patch of blue -a patch of blue that helps us have hope and endure the rough spots that can dominate our perceptions.

It's wonderful to have a friend. You know that's gonna be my favorite word from now on.
I know a better word.
Well perhaps friend doesn't mean so much to you. I suppose you got lots of 'em.
A few.
Well what's your word then? Or is it a secret?
Tolerance.
Tolerance? I don't think so much of that. What's it mean?
Well, it means..
Oh I know. Like when I have a headache, Rose-Ann says you'll just have to tolerate it.
Well it means more than that. It means you don't knock your neighbor just because he thinks or looks different.
That's a pretty good word too. I bet you're full of tolerance.
No I'm not, not by a longshot.
Friends & Tolerance

The only people who are not tolerant of their friends are those who have too many friends and friends to spare such that friends are treated as easy come easy go and there will always be a patch of blue to see through. But we all know there are stretches, times and places where that is not true.

Tolerance is required to be a friend, otherwise our relationship is a pretend dream superimposed over what is really taking place.
In other words there's always room for us to expand that patch of blue we represent.

Like a patch of blue sky, friends can be here one moment and gone the next, if we take the true value of what they bring, for granted.

Each of us must be our own best friend.
Hug yourself. Say to yourself, I love you. Begin another chapter of being a friend and learning more about self and all else so you can continuously mature in being more tolerant of those who are not seeking to harm you.
