New Year thoughts

At Rosh Ha'Shanah, one naturally thinks of all the people she has known who have drifted away for one reason or another. I am thinking of a couple of people who were very good friends, but this past year became alienated from me. I could write to them, but I think at least one of them and I have irreconcilable differences.
This was a very very good friend, but she decided at some point that she couldn't be friends with someone who did not have the same religious convictions that she held. And I suppose that I feel similarly--that I cannot be friends with someone who has beliefs like that.
Oh well! Perhaps some time I will see or hear from that person again. Closed doors can always open.
