More From John Green

I nodded. i liked augustus waters. i really, really, really liked him. i liked the way his story ended with someone else. i liked his voice. i liked that he took existentially fraught free throws. i liked that he was a tenured professor in the department of slightly crooked smiles with a dual appointment in the department of having a voice that made my skin feel more like skin. and i liked that he had two names. i’ve always liked people with two names, because you get to make up your mind what you call them: gus or augustus? me, i was always just hazel, univalent hazel.

But what i would like to say is that the spiritual life is a life in which you gradually learn to listen to a voice that says something else, that says, "you are the beloved and on you my favour rests."... i want you to hear that voice. it is not a very loud voice because it is an intimate voice. it comes from a very deep place. it is soft and gentle. i want you to gradually hear that voice. we both have to hear that voice and to claim for ourselves that that voice speaks the truth, our truth. it tells us who we are.
