“In my personal life, I continued on my separate way- not dating, not looking for love, nothing. I had tried it all, and nothing satisfied me like the beloved. Another may come, but I doubted she would come if I went looking. Sometimes I felt lonely, but it was a different kind of lonely. When you have loved as God loves, you no longer yearn for companionship in the same way. You no longer feel isolated when you walk alone. Because you have been penetrated by divinity. Because you have been transformed beyond yourself. Because you walk in shared shoes. Because you always feel the beloved close at heart.” Jeff Brown
