mickleb Posted September 5, 2009 Posted September 5, 2009 How cute is this?! Saw it on the wall when I went to dance class today. It just said 'proverb' underneath. I take 'those who are far' as being future friends, partners, acquaintances, even. And 'those who are near' could just be yourself, I reckon, until you are with others. Think it's a warm way to think about the predicament of loneliness.
