And, we may be grateful for the assurance that there is plan and purpose in this world, and in our own lives.

Men who have lived significant lives are men who never waited: not for money, security, ease, or women.

Spirituality is an inner fire, a mystical sustenance that feeds our souls. The mystical journey drives us into ourselves, to a sacred flame at our center. The purpose of the religious experience is to develop the eyes by which we see this inner flame, and our capacity to live its mystery. In its presence, we are warmed and ignited. When too far from the blaze, we are cold and spiritually lifeless. We are less than human without that heat. Our connection to God is life itself.
Marianne Williamson
