Let us not doubt that God has a father's pity towards us, and that in the removal of that which is dearest to us He is still loving and kind. Death separates, but it also unites. It reunites whom it separates.

I have come to believe over and over again that what is most important to me must be spoken, made verbal and shared, even at the risk of having it bruised or misunderstood.

Of what had I ever been afraid? ...Death on the other hand, is the final silence...my silences had not protected me. Your silences will not protect you.

Faith, like love, unites; opinion, like hate, separates.

All getting separates you from others; all giving unites to others.

Francis of Assisi

Fear separates--makes us feel alone--disconnected--while love--love does just the opposite--it unites. {shadowland}
