Light   and  Space  

'Now love has survived. Love has survived all the brokenness. It has become imperfect. It has acquired new qualities of desire, of greed, of lust, of power, of possessiveness, of what-not, but still it is love. It is a feeling that turns one person towards the other with a sense of wonder, a contemplative vision of beauty, a sense that one’s own fulfilment is in the other, that one is not self-contained, that it is only in the other, or in the others in the plural that fulfilment can be sought and perhaps achieved.

In spite, therefore, of all the ugliness that has developed, what we find in the fallen world is the light that shines in the darkness, and every negative thing, every form of brokenness results in longing and in a movement towards one another in spite of what tears us away from each other'.
