This Week’s Reflection …
This week, a small circle of friends gathered to share a meal in Flat Rock. The evening was alight with laughter, the kind that spills over from fond memories occasionally punctuated by sighs over life’s inevitable sorrows. During the course of the evening, there was a kind of alchemy that turned the simple act of being together into a profound connection that nourishes and uplifts the soul.
Friendship is the invisible thread that weaves together the fabric of a rewarding life. Good friends are our refuge, our sounding boards, the ones we turn to when the world feels too heavy or too light. In them, we find the solace we seek, the exuberance we crave, and the silent understanding that words alone cannot express. Friends are the keepers of our stories, the witnesses to our joys and sorrows, the ones who celebrate our triumphs and mourn our losses with a depth that only comes from shared history.
A wise friend once reminded me that while the place we call home holds its own importance, it is the people we surround ourselves with that truly make it sacred. Our friends transform a place into a sanctuary and our souls are made whole by these invaluable connections.
And so, that shared meal became a testament to the enduring power of friendship—a gentle reminder that no matter where we are, it is the love and loyalty of our friends that make all the difference.

I began to wonder about the origin of the white squirrels. Where do they live? What is the biological explanation for their bright white coats? How prevalent are they? And how in the world do they survive in a world full of predators while being so incredibly conspicuous wherever they go?
As it turns out, I am not the first to wonder about these vitally important questions. There is even the White Squirrel Institute in our neighboring town of Brevard. Here is what I have learned.
