“The desire for perfection is evidence that God exists. It is a reminder that this imperfect world is not our home. That flaws cause us distress and leave us longing for perfection’s restoration indicates our familiarity with the flawless. We came from Perfection: a place of light and truth and beauty; a place of wholeness and completion; a place of perfect love and perfect peace. The small griefs flaws cause us are expressions of our desires to return to the Home—and to the Parents—from which we came.”

"We will wait until you are allowed in," Baba said, as if to himself. " *I* will wait.”

“*Terminal* is a harsh word when used in the context of death and not one we'd ever uttered aloud. But according to Webster's, it's also a place people pass through on their way to somewhere else. Deborah knew her "somewhere else" was heaven. She was just hoping the rain was delayed. I scooped a tear off her cheek and tried to slip around her question. "We're all terminal," I said, smiling gently. "None of us makes it out of here alive.”
