These Three Trees

Outside a small church in England, I saw what looked like three trees growing together and remembered a quote I once read on friendship by C. S. Lewis: “Friendship is the greatest of worldly goods. Certainly to me it is the chief happiness of life. If I had to give a piece of advice to a young man about a place to live, I think I should say, ‘Sacrifce almost everything to live where you can be near your friends.’ I know, I am very fortunate in that respect.”
