“There are no unfinished lives, because there are no single lives. Life goes on and on. If you knew how much time there is to work with, you would learn to be patient and know that some things just take time. The truth is, time is being thrown at you, over and over.
“Those who are happy learn to manage this gracefully. Those who are thrown by time live their lives in anxiety and confusion. You must know that this is not the only time. There are other times, some of them happening now. You can learn this if you will.
“It is best for this learning, however, not to be afraid. There is nothing you have now that you cannot be given again. There is no one you have loved who is forever lost to you. Nor are you condemned to repeat the same mistakes and follies. The long story of your soul is wiser and more generous than you know.
“So don’t lose heart, and don’t give in to fear, but live with confidence, knowing that there are reasons for all things that happen. You do not live in a random universe because you do not live in a Motherless universe. You know by now that it is I Who, through your mothers, gave birth to your bodies. Know also that I have given birth to your souls, and a soul may never be destroyed.”
