"Love is the real power...The more you work with that energy, the more you will see how people respond naturally to it, and the more you will want to use it. It brings out your creativity, and helps everyone around you flower. Your children, the people you work with--everyone blooms.
~ Marion Woodman
What first comes to mind for me as I begin this reflection is an often-used quote that is attributed to Jimi Hendrix:
"When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace."
For creativity, for helping our children and all people with whom we relate in any way - for helping everyone blossom and bloom -
may we bring love into all that we do today. Let's do this for peace too - personal peace and world peace.
To encourage us further, let's also hold this often-used quote:
“Someday...we shall harness for God the energies of love, and then, for a second time in the history of the world, man will have discovered fire.” (Pierre Teilhard de Chardin)
Love is the real power. May we realize that, fully.
Day by day,
