Yannis the Adonis my dear sweet friend
With great sadness of this life is the earthly trend
For all who wish to feel happiness and joy
It would seem life treats them like an unfortunate toy
For all people we love most in this life
Seem to be tortured and oh, so full of strife
But if you can find just one true friend
Who all your desires you can speak freely without end
Then take them by the hand Yannis my sweet
And never let them go, for they are lifes most precious treat

There is a Spanish proverbio that goes, De buen vino, buen vinagre Which simply means, From good wine, comes good vinegar.
I think life is very much like good wine. Full , robust, a nice bouquet.there is laughter and joy. Good times and sharing. Still, there is the crying, the sadness and loneliness.
Life like wine needs proper care or it becomes vinegar or sour to the taste.
Wine is good for drinking with a meal but, vinegar on the other hand is only good for salads.
Our friend refiners fire said, if you are in Oz and are in Melbourne email me .and get over here to the Apostofest BBQ on Saturday...At least you can tell someone who understands, what happened.
If you can bring yourself to Yannis, e-mail our friend and go to this BBQ. If you have people in your life you can laugh with and cry,.. life becomes a delicious thirst,quenching wine for a hearty banquetnot so sour you wish to spit it out.
Our czarofmischief gave corny but true advice, Hey, God loves you. It's a cliche, but the reason cliches become cliches is that they are the hammer and screwdriver in the toolboxes of communication.
Could it be Yannis that refiners fires invitation to you is a gift from God ? To show you your needed and cared for? Maybe this is cliche but, I have always believed God has a hand in our lives. Refiners fire is a sensitive soul and even if he doesnt think so he could be a gift to you in friendship from Our Creator.
On-line friends are very nice but, up close and personal ones can see the twinkle of your eye..the small smile in the corner of your mouth or even the tear your trying to hide and the frown behind your enormous grin.When needed they can hold your hand,give a hug, listen to sadness or laugh at your corny jokes. Most importantly true friends can even sit with you in silence when all you need is the sound of another human there with you, living and breathing.just seeing in person someone cares for you and wishes you in their life.
If you can Yannis please go out and have a wonderful time with friends who have been right where youre at now.
What could it hurt? I think it could only heal.
Take care now dear friend and try to smile that amazing grin of yours.
Agape,
