The Things You Can't Touch The things you can't touch are the most real. Love, peace, calm, faith - you can't hold them in your hands. Yet when you build them, they last. The physical things of the earth, however, all vanish in time. No matter how invincible they may appear. No matter how strong and protected the experts proclaim them to be. If you can buy it or feel it with your physical being, you can be certain that it's only temporary. But if you can feel it in your heart, then it is real and everlasting. Now you may argue with me on the everlasting part. If you've been hurt badly by love lost, you may dispute this and say that love isn't lasting. But maybe it's not love's fault. Maybe you haven't yet acquired the skills for holding love in your heart. If you've been hurt badly by life's difficulties, you may argue that God is gone. But perhaps you haven't yet learned to keep faith in your heart. But that's you. The things themselves - love, understanding, peace, calm, faith, worth - are always here.
