Enter into the Silence, into the Heart of Truth; For herein lies the Great Mystery where life is ever unfolding... Listen for the Music of the Spheres in the resounding Silence of the universe. May balance and harmony be your aim as you are drawn into the Heart of Love.
~ Nan Merrill from her interpretation of "Psalm 132" in PSALMS FOR PRAYING

When we're old, our lives become the sum of all whom we have loved. It is important not to waste anyone. One task of living out the last half of life is excavating and recovering all of those whom we loved the first half. Thus, the recovery of lost loves becomes an important way in which the past affects the present.
~ from AGING WELL by George E. Vaillant in "Spirituality & Health" - Fall 2001
