Solace is to know that kindness and compassion are beauty, and that love does not die but lives on in us generation after generation. Jesus is not dead, neither is the Buddha, nor any who point beyond themselves to the love which brings them into being. This is my solace in a hurt and hurting.

Heaven is here with us, in us, and around us, though we might fail to recognize or accept it. The past and future are here as witnesses for our hoped-for awakening, and our realization that we are of one mind, one body, Love’s body.
