The Heartbeat of Others

Psychologist Marissa Franco says that a lot of people are quite lonely these days. She advises we not overlook the value of long-distance friendships, making use of phone calls, texting, and video chats. Keys to making these relationships work are consistency, openness, and expressing affection. Long-distance friendships can become long-term friendships.
“If we will listen to the heartbeat of another, we will hear the rhythm of the Universe resounding in us. Through our friends the Infinite speaks a divine language.” – Ernest Holmes
Affirmative prayer: Infinite Presence, I give thanks for every person with whom I’ve shared something real and precious. Time spent with friends in days gone by and in current days is prime time. I bless every soul companion, hold them in absolute love, and allow every dear relationship to be a touchstone for my life. Amen.
