SIDE BY SIDE

Some things will always be the same.
No amount of reasoning, no amount of questioning, will change them.
Like the digits of the number line on a first grader's desk.
Always the same.
No matter how you count, no matter how you do the math, the numbers are the same.
Each number has its neighbor - forever side by side.

You can move forward; you can move backward; you can even skip a step or two; but always there will be the one that is by its side forever.

Because nothing can move it.


May you always have a friend that is only a step away.

May you always simply look to one side and find your forever neighbor, your forever friend.
