80. My old-new-future friends
My old friends, fear and doubtAre calling me.
I tell them:
I am sick of them.
My new friends, imagination and inspiration
Are calling me.
I tell them:
I am proud of them.
My future friends, perfection and satisfaction
Are calling me.
I tell them:
I am fond of them,
Extremely fond of them.
