“This work is formed especially to let any soul who longs toward her, walks with her, dreams toward her . . . to know they are surrounded by fellow travelers who do not “believe” she walks with us: From our bones outward, we who are fellow travelers know her and experience her up front and cheek-to-cheek. We are, together, all of us, the sparkling flashes of light on her ocean of love. We are together the flashing of innumerable stars on her mantle. You are not alone. We are together — with and within — her.”
