Say Hello to My Little Friend: On Old Friends and Gold Friends


Listen Later

Season of Friends — Old Friends, Gold Friends

If you want to understand the friendships that shape a lifetime, listen to this.
In this finale of the Season of Friends, Jill explores the two kinds of friends: the ones who are old in age, and the ones who are old in time. Both offer something essential. Both anchor a life in different but equally powerful ways.

The episode opens with the line from Robert Fisher:
 “True friendship is not about being inseparable; it is about being separated and nothing changes.”
A perfect lens for the season’s closing theme: not proximity, but constancy.

Jill reflects on the friends who arrive later in life with humour, vitality and a refreshing take on ageing. These older-in-years friendships show us that new connections can be just as rich as lifelong ones.

She then turns to the friend who has known her the longest. A relationship built across decades of shared history, deep roots and the rare ability to witness every version of who we have been.

What makes this episode different is its focus on longevity.
Old in years, teaching us how to live expansively at any stage.
 Old in time, reminding us who we have always been.

Old friends.
Gold friends.
Each one proof that friendship shapes our past, enriches our present and expands our future.
