Part I:
Loneliness stalks the heart that stands outside the present moment, looking back upon itself and feeling the pain of being without a love. If only this same heart, unknowingly divided, could see that this painful loneliness is produced by its own unhappy considerations of itself, then -- upon returning Home to its native Wholeness -- this heart now reunited would realize the lasting Love it could never find outside of itself.
Part II:
Just as we cannot hope to catch and keep a cooling breeze on a hot summer's eve, but only stand still there -- grateful for the moment of its passing -- neither can we take hold of what is True or born of Love. Like the flame of a candle that comforts us on a dark night, Truth and Love may not be held by us, even though we are made for one another; for any movement made toward them, to possess their peaceful Presence, only causes them to flicker and go out.
