Real intimacy; real love has to do with a joining of the mind, a joining of the spirit, a joining of the heart.

Don't be concerned that things appear to be falling apart: this has to happen in order for something new and wonderful to emerge.

We must keep in mind that where the road is crooked, God makes it straight, and where our hearts are wounded, God makes us whole. As we open our hearts in purity and simplicity, admitting to God that we are completely powerless in the area of our problem, His illumination redeems us.

Great spiritual teachings do not change, but we do. As we grow older and wiser, we can receive the teachings at deeper levels.

We do not heal the past by dwelling there. We heal the past by living in the present.

It takes mystical insight to see the beauty and innocence in each other, even when that is not what we are showing to the world. That is why God is needed in intimate relationships, to move us beyond the perceptions that can so often poison love.

Change is in the air, as old patterns fall away and new energies are emerging. Consciously release what needs to be released, and welcome with a full embrace the newness you've prayed for and so richly deserve.
