You know, we meet a lot of people, and we hear a lot of stories. But every so often, a voice comes along that seems to exist outside of time, outside of the trends. A voice that doesn't just perform a song, but seems to channel something… universal.

That was Whitney Houston.

We’ve been thinking about her lately, about that incredible instrument of a voice and the sheer style she brought to everything she did. And it occurs to me that Whitney’s music and style can… transcend. Long after the news cycles have moved on, her art remains, as powerful and clear as the day it was recorded.

There’s something about her music that simply… inspires. It pulls something up and out of you. I was thinking about that just the other day, and a melody, a feeling, just floated into my mind. I could hear Whitney singing these words, with that perfect blend of gospel power and pop grace:

*“There is no better love.*Now, these words came from my mind,*There is no better love.*But I was *hearing* Whitney. *I need you here beside me.**I need you here to guide me.*There is no better love.”

That’s the mark of a true artist, isn’t it? They become a vessel for our own hopes, our own faith, our own need for connection and guidance. She gave a voice to the feelings we all have but can't always express so beautifully.

It’s a reminder that the greats never really leave us. Their work becomes a part of our own internal landscape, a soundtrack we can call upon for strength, for comfort, for a moment of pure, unvarnished inspiration.

And for that… there is no better love.
