Sorrow, however, turns out to be not a state but a process. It needs not a map but a history, and if I don't stop writing that history at some quite arbitrary point, there's no reason why I should ever stop…. Grief is like a long valley, a winding valley where any bend may reveal a totally new landscape.… Sometimes… you are presented with exactly the same sort of country you thought you had left behind….

“Heaven will solve our problems, but not, I think, by showing us subtle reconciliations between all our apparently contradictory notions. The notions will all be knocked from under our feet. We shall see that there never was any problem.”
Merely links. Take a parallel from an infinitely higher sphere. Tomorrow morning a priest will give me a little round, thin, cold, tasteless wafer. Is it a disadvantage — is it not in some ways an advantage— that it can't pretend the least resemblance to that with which it unites me?
I need Christ, not something that resembles Him.
I want H., not something that is like her. A really good photograph might become in the end a snare, a horror, and an obstacle.”
