The relationships I stand on to reach, with tippy-toed grasp, the light of heaven flutter like flounder disturbed from their sandy bed.

- "Love is not an act based on conditions. Love is the condition all other acts are based on. Love for our Creator. Love for others. Love for ourselves." Courage of Fear If I remember correctly it was early in the morning and I was just finishing up with the details of chapter three in Courage when the phone rang.
