Author:Matt Chandler

“It occurred to me that some people couldn't handle too much love. That everyone loves as they're able, but more, they are loved as they're able.

We are excluded from no age, but we have access to them all; and if we are prepared in loftiness of mind to pass beyond the narrow confines of human weakness, there is a long period of time through which we can roam.”
