When she first saw him, she took him for a ghost. His jet-black hair fluttered in the breeze as he walked, letting her see his eyes. They seemed haunted, lost in some way. He was tall and gaunt, starkly pale in his black clothes. He was the very picture of Anton, even sharing his world-weary eyes of deepest blue. She could hardly look away from this apparition, an echo of all the memories and dreams that had haunted her these many years.

Expansion in love is an action that is available to every being in the universe all the time. A willing awareness will takeus to heaven, a loving attitude will make us free. Nothing else controls our fate. Good or bad behavior is secondary.Whatever you are doing, love yourself for doing it. Whatever you are thinking, love yourself for thinking it. Love is theonly dimension that needs to be changed. If you are not sure how it feels to be loving, love yourself for not being sure ofhow it feels. There is nothing on earth more important than the love which conscious beings feel towards each other,whether or not it is ever expressed.

A Course in Miracles says we think we're going to understand people in order to figure out whether or not they're worthy of our love,  but that actually, until we love them, we can never understand them.  What is not loved is not understood.  We hold ourselves separate from people and wait for them to earn our love, but people deserve our love because of what God created them to be.  As long as we're waiting for them to be anything better, we will constantly be disappointed.  When we choose to join with them through approval and unconditional love, the miracle kicks in for both parties. This is the primary key, the ultimate miracle, in relationships.

~ Marianne Williamson

Love is not merely need alone, & what is more important is loving you, & making my true nature comprehensible to you.
