“You have to find a mother inside yourself. We all do. Even if we already have a mother, we still have to find this part of ourselves inside….You don’t have to put your hand on Mary’s heart to get strength and consolation and rescue, and all the other things we need to get through life — you can place it right here on your own heart. Your own heart….All those times your father treated you mean, Our Lady was the voice in you that said, ‘No, I will not bow down to this. I am Lily Melissa Owens, I will not bow down.’ Whether you could hear this voice or not, she was in there saying it….When you’re unsure of yourself, when you start pulling back into doubt and small living, she’s the one inside saying, ‘Get up from there and live like the glorious girl you are.’….She’s the power inside you, you understand?….And whatever it is that keeps widening your heart, that’s Mary, too, not only the power inside you but the love….And when you get down to it, Lily, that’s the only purpose grand enough for a human life….Not just to love, but to persist in love….This Mary I’m talking about sits in your heart all day long, saying, ‘Lily, you are my everlasting home. Don’t you ever be afraid. I am enough. We are enough….”

“some of them want to use you/some of them want to be used by you/some of them want to confuse you/some of them want to be abused/sweet dreams are made of these/who am I to disagree/travel the world and the seven seas/everybody’s looking for something”
I just happened to hear this song as I was sitting [...]
