" Love isn’t seen with the physical eyes or heard with physical ears. The physical senses can’t perceive it; it’s perceived through another kind of vision. Metaphysicians call it the Third Eye, esoteric Christians call it the vision of the Holy Spirit, and others call it the Higher Self. Regardless of what it’s called, love requires a different kind of “seeing” than we’re used to—a different kind of knowing or thinking. Love is the intuitive knowledge of our hearts. It’s a “world beyond” that we all secretly long for. An ancient memory of this love haunts all of us all the time, and beckons us to return. "

--Marianne Williamson

Beautiful quotation. It would be grand if more of society could grasp the concept. Unfortunately life in concrete buildings, trudging on concrete and living and dying in concrete jungles leave folks expecting concrete aspects of life. Some of the best things in life, while being of great value, have no more physical consistancy than a tantilizing fragrence brought to you on a gypsy wind.
