Mark knelt down and helped the boy pick up the scattered articles and helped carry some of the stuff since they were going the same way. As they walked, Marked discovered the boy's name was Bill, that he loved video games, baseball and history, and that he had just broken up with his girlfriend. They got to Bill's house and Mark went inside to watch t.v., and continue talking about their lives. The afternoon passed by pleasantly with laughs and stories, which developed into a wonderful friendship. They continued to see each other around school, had lunch together once or twice, then both graduated junior high school. Ironically, they ended up at the same high school where they had brief contacts over the years. It was finally here...their senior year graduation. Wow!! How time flies. Three weeks before graduation, Bill asked Mark if they could talk. Bill reminded him of the day many years ago when they had first met. "Did you ever wonder why I was carrying so many things home that day?" asked Bill. "You see, I cleaned out my locker that day because I didn't want to leave a mess for anyone else. I had my dad's gun under my bed and I was going to commit suicide. But after we spent some time together talking and laughing, I realized that if I had killed myself, I would have missed that time and so many others that might follow. So you see, Mark, when you picked up my books that day, you did a lot more. [b][i]YOU SAVED ME LIFE."[/i][/b] [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFXtlHEk3Oo[/youtube] Always Be There For The People Who Matter The Most To You, But Also Be There For The People Who Need A Friend Right At The Moment You Cross Paths.

The world will forever be upside down and challenging...how else would we learn, understand, and grow. We must make the most of this world through love, courage, and hope. Truth is outside of all set patterns. It is in the silence and darkness...that you will finally hear and see what is truly meant to be. It is at the mysterious quiet at the core of our spirit that triumphs in the soundless sound of the universal heartbeat resonating deep within each of us. Open your heart to all things...see with new eyes, hear with new ears the beauty and love of what is real and true.
"Be done and come home
To the silence afterwards...
The silence that lives in the grass
On the underside of each blade
And in the blue space between the stones..."
~Rolf Jacobsen
