Even in the enchanted forest, this is a remarkable sight. What appears at first to be a rumble of aggressive bears is revealed to be quite the opposite. Bedecked with garlands of blackberry brambles, three bewitching bears are dancing together in celebration. What are they celebrating? It’s a beautiful day in the forest and they are bears! What could be better than that? They dance bear-foot on a carpet of wood violets that release their sweetness on the air, adding to the delight of the day.
You don’t have to be a bear to know that making time for friendship is as important as any other aspect of life. If you’ve been neglecting your connections to friends, now is the time to make it a priority. Gather with those who know you well and with whom you can be yourself. You don’t need a special occasion; the time you spend in good company is a celebration in itself.
