"A friend of mine who is celibate makes it very clear that her vow of celibacy is not to go without love, but it's a vow to what she calls "universal love." I've realized over time that she is a deeply connected person. There is a certain potency to her presence that is hard to describe. She owns no property and she lives as simply as she possibly can because she committed early in her life to give everything she had to making the world the kind of place God dreams it could be. It is a joy to be with her because EVERYTHING MATTERS IN HER LIFE. Nothing is shallow or trite or superficial. [...] Because she's been exploring her own soul for so long, she knows herself inside and out. She's at peace and it's contagious."
