“The task is not to “believe” in a life beyond this one; the task is to perceive it.”

“I will wait for you' goes beyond death and is the deepest expression of the fact that faith and hope may pass but that love will remain forever. 'I will wait for you' is an expression of solidarity which breaks through the chains of death.”
― Henri J.M. Nouwen, The Wounded Healer
