"We come to this place in life.... Actually, we come to this place many times in life. It is an experience of clarity and understanding. It is the reality of the realms of the spiritual, mental and physical worlds in which we abide, and the separateness and yet the intertwining of all into the oneness of each of us (me, you, us, we, them) the entire universe. You individually share with each of us individually the sum of the total of you, just by entering into our presence. "No man is an island." We are intrinsically a part of the faith of all mankind. We will always be a part of all that is. The puzzle of 1000 pieces is not complete if you have only 999 pieces. You are individually the completion of the puzzle. We are the picture when the puzzle is complete.
Take care of you. The edges become frayed before the major part becomes corrupted. So stay in communion with God, with yourself and those around you who are there to protect and inspire you as you strive toward perfection. In your giving, there is love.
There was one moment that changed my life forever. I stood before you and ever so softly I realized that you had said to me.......... I love you. At that moment I was encircled and filled with love as I have never known before or since. This was my gift. I will give this gift to those I meet. It is also your gift to give. Through you......The gift of living will become all that it is meant to be. Through you......."
