The world consists of imaginary people, claiming imaginary virtues and suffering from imaginary happiness. (Vernon Howard [via])
Imaginary people—yes;
Imaginary virtues—yes!!
Imaginary happiness—more or less, until it no longer satisfies.
But is the loneliness, pain, and sorrow imaginary too?
Maybe that’s why we imagine?

Dare to trust.
Surrender to grace.
