We were innocent before we started feeling guilty;
we were in the light before we entered into the darkness;
we were at home before we started to search for a home .
Deep in the recesses of our minds and hearts there lies hidden the treasure we seek. We know its preciousness, and we know that it holds the gift we most desire : a life stronger than death.

Eternal life is not some great surprise that comes unannounced at the end of our existence in time; it is, rather, the full revelation of what we have been and have lived all along.

Those who are now dead were beautiful people, but they were also people whose ability to love was limited by their many needs and wounds. Now, after their deaths, the needs and wounds that kept their spirits captive no longer inhibit them from giving their full selves to us. Now they can send us their spirits, and we can live in a new communion with them.

The real question is not "What can we offer each other?" but "who can we be for each other?"

It is impossible to compete for God's love.
God's love is a love that includes all people-each one in his or her uniqueness.
It is only when we have claimed our own place in God's love that we can experience this all-embracing, non-comparing love and feel safe, not only with God, but also with all our brothers and sisters.

Isn't that what friendship is all about: giving to each other the gift of our Belovedness?
