Seed thoughts from The Power of Love book:
Note: The book opens with Fran’s grief at the passing of her spiritual teacher; it ends with her realization that the Love she experienced with him is everywhere, and within her, and in everything and everyone.
“The wound is where the Light enters”—Rūmī, in the Preface
“You, yourself, are what you’re looking for.” — Fran’s teacher (“Doc” Hawkins) said to her.
“When Doc died, I thought I’d lost him. The heartache felt unbearable. It was very lonely, and no one understood the exact nature of my grief. Doc had been the one place of Pure Love on the planet for me. In the years after his death, this book took me on a journey to learn about the power of love in its many expressions. Each encounter illumined an aspect of love that he had taught me, and each became a steppingstone to a deeper realization. The love Doc emanated is everywhere, walking beside me, within me, and all around me. How could I have ever thought otherwise?” —Epilogue
