When we both experienced the love that consumes, we shared in the Absolute. The Absolute shows each of us who we really are; it is an enormous web of cause and effect, where every small gesture made by one person affects the life of someone else.

All I knew about Ireland before I went there was what I learned from watching soap commercials all my life. I was totally misinformed.
