Connected Through God

I need something more than free will, independence, or specialness. I need something more than private thoughts, a personal code, or a splendid point of view.

I need people! Not in order to stay alive but in order to be fully alive, fully human, to be affectionate, funny, playful, generous, happy. I can love a concept—I can study it, meditate on it, and repeat it to others—but I can't throw my arms around it.

And that's what God is: arms around us all.
