Friends in crisis
Last night, we went over to a friend’s house for a lovely dinner, but it was a multipurpose visit. She is in crisis and we were going over to rally for her. Other friends came and we had this feast of feasts – coconut crab with plaintain chips, quiche lorraine, red pepper soup, olive bread, stuffed artichokes and champagne. As we sat at the table discussing all of our great plans – Spain, Tangiers, Berlin – we raised a glass to friendship. Her friend in San Francisco, on hearing that she is in crisis, dropped all her plans and is flying out for three days.
Relationships are tough, but friends are critical.
