Spirt In Beloved

Love will always find its way back to you, it is an inseparable blessing that will stop at nothing to find you. Tony Morrison wrote the novel “Beloved” a tremendous story about an infant that was killed by her mother because of the hardships of slavery. She comes back to her mom years later wanting love and constant attention.

If you express a great deal of love towards someone they will always find their way back to you. Before Beloved came to live with Sethe she haunted the house.

The house started shaking and Paul D was thrown violently against the wall and nearly crushed by a table. When a death is not right it will come back to you in some way.
