Happy May Day 2009-
This is a recycled, edited, updated Avatar Fry Day, a newsletter from 2004 to Buddi’s.
Dear Buddi your in this one and each blog, and each Sunday Sermon I write.
"I ended April coining a new word. Washington Post does it all the time, words like:
Intaxication: Euphoria at getting a tax refund, which lasts until you realize it was your money to start with.
Cashtration (n.): The act of buying a house, which renders the subject financially impotent for an indefinite period.
Hipatitis: Terminal coolness.
My word is Buddihood (v).

My word is Buddihood (v).
A buddi is not so committed as a bodhis (bo·dhi·satt·va (bo´dî-sùt¹ve) noun Buddhism. An enlightened being who, out of compassion, forgoes nirvana in order to save others. [Sanskrit bodhisattvah, one whose essence is enlightenment: bodhih, perfect knowledge + sattvam, essence, being (from sat-, existing)., but a buddi is on the path to nirvana. 
Buddies are more than a friend, they are an inspirer.
Not a muse, though they have qualities of a muse, but empathetic.
They are role models, mentors and peers. Someone who listens and hears with compassion and insights. They bring out the best in you, and you mirror them.
It is not a friendship based on what SAGE creator, Brandon St John, called “you buy my bullshit, I’ll buy yours.”
It’s not based on money or the sympathetic snivel of sharing a pity pot.
The relationship does not depend on length of time, although like wine, aging these buddihood decants into magic.
It’s the partner in the master & baiter game, a student and coach.
The questioner and answerer.
Your partner in drilling a skill.
Your mirror.
Definition of a Buddi is the archetype on the list of character ethic’s I wish for.
Love of all life, especially self-love.
Compassion when feeling and experiencing another person.
Empathy, a sign of wisdom, a relief from our self-importance.
Commitment to being present no matter what.
Courage to keep coming back for more.
Perseverance to do the real work. Know They Self.
Patience to accept the unacceptable.
Understanding practiced into an art form.
Wit to laugh at ourselves, & sense the contradictory humor in consciousness.
Insight into finding another way of looking at all situations.
Clarity to see all the other ways of looking.
Creativity to come to solutions.
Honesty in being real.
Changeability with the flow.

My life has been blessed with many amusing buddies.
Partners, in dyads sitting across from me, with a presence, and being a ‘present’ to work with.
