“Only faith can guarantee the blessings you hope for.”
Through seeking union with another I am challenged to find myself.
As I find the real me I am better able to unite with the beloved.
Love alone is capable of uniting human beings in such a way as to complete and fulfil them, for it takes them and joins them by what is deepest in themselves.Love needs dreams, wonder, exploration, and imagination. By the love of man and woman a thread is woven that will reach to the very heart of the universe.
Tielhard de Chardin, French priest, scientist, mystic and prophet.
