The New Dimension of Love
I know that they live again, my dear one whom I no longer can see. You have opened wide for them a place of joy and peace and challenge, where their dreams can be fulfilled. And this place somehow includes my own small portion of the world. They have not really left me, my dear one, they are close by me in a way they could never be before. They know how much I love them. They understand about the things I meant to do for them and didn't, the words I failed to say. They put their arms around me to comfort me. They tell me, "It's all right, human love is faulty but for all it's faults enduring." It goes beyond such things, it goes beyond even this separation. The loss of the body does not mean the loss of that love. There is a new life in which that love is even stronger. For God is Love. And this I know. This God, I know: They are with you now-forever. And so with me forever - in this new dimension of love.
