In Search of Perfect Friendship 

February 1, 2023 | Yoska Guta TD ‘25

Contrary to popular belief, I don’t think our fallouts with others are due to the flaws of a select few individuals. Rather, this constant failure is due to a deep insufficiency that runs rampant within each of us. One that prevents us from being, and finding that whole and perfect friend that we all seek.

The People Are A Temple

October 26, 2021 | By Jadan Anderson MC ‘22

And souls are candles, each lighting the other.

I read this short poem by Gennady Aygi, a Russian poet, in a class where I had hoped to build substantial relationships with my classmates as we discussed faith through the lens of poetry, and vice versa.

Shape and be Shaped, Loved and be Loved

By Raquel Sequeira, TD ‘21. Raquel is majoring in Molecular Biophysics & Biochemistry.

At the start of each new school year, I find myself auditing my relationships: Who are my true friends that I will make the time to invest in this semester? Who are my fake friends—or friends I’ve been fake to? Who are the people that I wave to but don’t remember their names or where I know them from? I tally up the relationships I can’t wait to deepen this year, and those that I feel guilty about for my negligence.

Then I ask myself the more uncomfortable question: Who am I when I am with each of these people?
