Marianne Williamson
“All we will do is pray, create, and make love—or some variations thereof, forever.

Pray for him often: Dear God, bring him happiness and peace. We want him present so we can touch his spirit from a closer place. We watch his eyes so we can take joy in the fact that he really exists. We want him to be happy so miracles can happen around him.

See him as you want him to be: in such deep peace, full of every feeling that would make him melt. If we can fully imagine one human being, completely happy, then we can begin to imagine heaven. And that is why we learn to love: to care so completely for one other person that our hearts break open wide and we learn to love them all. That's the meaning of love and the purpose of love, that one other person might signify our love for God and all humankind. It's a place where love is holy and sex is holy and earth itself is re-conceived.”
Marianne Williamson, A Woman's Worth
