"When we are young, it’s the illusion of perfection
that we fall in love with. As we age, it’s the humanness
that we fall in love with- the poignant stories of
overcoming, the depthful vulnerability of aging, the
struggles that grew us in karmic stature, the way a
soul shaped itself to accommodate its circumstances.
With less energy to hold up our armor, we are revealed
and, in the revealing, we call out to each other’s
hearts....
Where we once saw imperfect scars, we now see evidence of a life fully lived.”
Jeff Brown
“The measurement of life by solar years robs youth and gives ugliness to age. The radiant sun of virtue and truth coexists with being. Manhood is its eternal noon, undimmed by a declining sun. As the physical and material, the transient sense of beauty fades, the radiance of Spirit should dawn upon the enraptured sense with bright and imperishable glories.”
Mary Baker Eddy - Science & Health Page 246:10-16
“Death is the central dream from which all illusions stem. Is it not madness to think of life as being born, aging, losing vitality, and dying in the end? We have asked this question before, but now we need to consider it more carefully. It is the one fixed, unchangeable belief of the world that all things in it are born only to die. This is regarded as “the way of nature,” not to be raised to question, but to be accepted as the “natural” law of life. The cyclical, the changing and unsure; the undependable and the unsteady, waxing and waning in a certain way upon a certain path,—all this is taken as the Will of God.
And no one asks if a benign Creator could will this.”
A Course in Miracles M-27.1:1-7
