Cultivating friendships is a skill.
The skill of discerning openness, of whom to communicate with and how, igniting emotive chambers, resonances of mutuality, creating spaces of mutual freedom, generating currents sustaining bonding across space and time.
Religious scholar, philosopher and economist Nimi Wariboko, writer of The Pentecostal Principle, among other books, though deeply immersed in scholarship, soaring to mystical heights in his writing, is very good at this skill.
