Disappointments in love, even betrayals and losses, serve the soul at the very moment they seem in life to be tragedies. The soul is partly in time and partly in eternity. We might remember the part that resides in eternity when we feel despair over the part that is in life. Thomas Moore
About This Quote

The soul is partly in time and partly in eternity. We might remember the part that resides in eternity when we feel despair over the part that is in life. The soul is not just a part of the physical body, but also what makes us whole. It connects our past with our future, and it takes its place between what is eternal and what is temporary.

The soul is the part of us that remembers our past experiences and shares them with our future self. When we are disappointed in love, betrayal or loss, we may feel defeated by the present moment. But, if we allow ourselves to be comforted by our loving memories of someone else, we can find peace.
