The most significant relationships are the ones that bring us restoration. Restoration of our hope, our aliveness, our missing pieces. When we encounter them, we feel ourselves return to wholeness. These are th relationships we need. - Jeff Brown

If we age honestly, we become love. As the body weakens, love surges though us, longing to be released, longing to be lived. With no time left to not love, we seek authentic embrace everywhere. Our deft avoidance maneuvers convert into directness. Our armored hearts melt into pools of eterenal longing. This is why we should look forward to aging. Finally, after all the masks and disguises fall away, we are left with love alone. God waits for us on the bridge between our hearts. - Jeff Brown, Humanifestations
