Everyone is trying to accomplish something big, not realizing that life is made up of little things. - Frank A Clark

I like quotes...other people's ideas on what life is/means immortalized by the concurrence of another choosing that same idea...very interesting people and quotes...

I like this one in particular because it reminds me of one of my best friends.  He's an artist, this friend of mine, and a very good one at that.  You can take a look here and see for yourself.  I've known him for what seems a lifetime or more, but maybe it's been about 13 years.  That's more than half my life so far....a long time to know a person...the best part about him is getting to know him.  He's probably one of the realest, most true to heart, straightforward people out there. 

I have never, and I mean NEVER, known anybody quite like this kid.  He's always been smart and funny and very creative.  Just recently he's really been putting in work as an artist, making a name for himself and really broadening his horizons.  He shares very similar views about the world that I do (I guess that's one reason we've gotten so close).  I just love spending time with him because I can always be myself with him and we can just sit around and do almost nothing and have the best time.

He's a person who reminds me that even while on the path to achieving the great goals some of us set for ourselves, the most meaningful and wonderful moments can be the minutes spent with a good friend in laughter or even just the company.  So I guess, not only is he trying to accomplish something big with his work, but he still understands that the little moments that life brings us can be what inspires us most, which we can then incorporate into our big dreams.

He will go far.  I'm not just saying that because he's my friend, but because I've seen how far he has already come and how much he is open to now.  This is only the beginning, he has so much more to offer the world...and how grateful am I to be able to call him my friend...

To each of us, friendship has a different meaning.  For all of us, it is a gift.
