Caging Skies

by Christine Leunens

THE GREAT DANGER OF LYING is not that lies are untruths, and thus unreal, but that they become real in other people’s minds.

Logic will take you nowhere you want to go in life. It will take you many places, far and wide, yes it will, but nowhere you really want to go, I assure you, when you look back on your life. Emotion is God’s intelligence in us, in you. Learn to listen to God.”

Love isn’t possessive, a way of caging someone in for your own sake. Love doesn’t bind one to another. Love is as free and liberating as the air, the wind—yes, as God’s light.”

“Love means two people staying together no matter what. Love is a glue, the strongest there is, that sticks two people together! One doesn’t just get rid of the other because it’s easier running on two legs than stumbling along on four! It’s not selfish for one to want the other there with him! That’s love! You must love the person you say you love. You must stay with him. Love is a tight bond, two becoming one, not some loose open pigpen!”
