“If this is not something you have experienced, dear reader, there is still hope.

For time is a plentiful thing, though perhaps you cannot see that yet. There is time, in this life or another, or somewhere in between, to love and be loved in exactly the way your heart desires. For this is what it means that the universe is expanding. We are all reaching, whether we know it or not, toward love.

In the winding spirals and branches of the illusion we call “time,” the universe itself reaches toward love, too.
