.... your unity. And to feel your unity with All That Is—and know you are a part of it. You should have known that you could not escape my ceremony—and my ceremony is a ceremony of the skies and trees—and even of the grass. My ceremony is a ceremony that does not need ceremony —for it speaks through all seasons and it rises and it speaks through you. And as you sit here now so you have existed many times. And the ceremony is not new. Autumns and springs are not new. You sit here with new youth and new vitality—new, but ancient—for there is no newness that does not have an ancient heritage.

Jane said Florence could attempt “a tiny look within” and find out there’s nothing to be frightened of there either, and that she could give her intuitions free reign. That she and Daniel can look each other in the eyes as people. And that, “at least in this room you can allow yourself this freedom.”)
