I'm sending this early "Valentine's Card" with something to think about.
“The world needs something more from us now,
and we need something more noble from ourselves as well,” said Stephen Dinan.
We are in the midst of serious challenges. Besides looking to others to make things safer, fairer, better - whatever that means to each of us - let's look to ourselves to bring something more noble into the world...LOVE.
Beyond all
the kinds of LOVE we know, we need to go deeper and tap into the LOVE within us that holds all our inner strengths, including kindness.
Kindness seems soft to some. But LOVE's softness is like water, which can smooth rough stones, wear down rocks, and form
canyons.
LOVE is fierce, too - not in a violent way - in a miraculous way with strength and courage that allows us to do things that seem impossible.
The wisdom and reverence aspects of LOVE can help us see clearly and guide us to do what is ours to do in the best possible way.
With the present divisiveness, it may seem as if we are at complete odds with one another.
But let's step up to a higher viewpoint where we can glimpse goodness and common ground. From this place, it is also possible to see the
fear, hate, and demonization that has been fed and fostered. LOVE can lift us from this toxic stew.
Let's give ourselves, our loved ones, our country, and the world the gift of such LOVE this Valentine's Day.
How about if we start right now by choosing to let go of self-righteousness and blaming? (Who me? Yes, you and me. We all do it to some extent.) To make this part of LOVE a bit easier, let's sweeten ourselves with something that brings us joy and stirs gratitude. Music? Time in nature? Playing with a child?
Walking the dog? Let LOVE lead the way and inspire you!
