The Power of Love
February is love month, and I’m living proof that is true because Christopher and I met on Feb. 10th, 1998. The love we share has grown every day since then. So, what does love do? Take the loved one out for Sunday brunch, and have a nice nap in the afternoon? I don't think so. Today, love discovers its power. Today love recognizes that it alone calls this world and all reality into existence by its very longing for itself. Love's longing for itself; isn't that a soul stirring thought? All the love that's in you, longs for love. All the love anywhere is seeking more of its own kind. Our longing is our call to life. The longing in our hearts is God, by whatever name we understand, calling us to our true joy, our right relationships, and our passion for life.
There are some things I deeply believe. There is only one presence and one power in the universe and each one of us arises out of and lives through that power. This is the very foundation of our oneness with each other. We each carry the creative power of the Divine and as such we are each responsible for what we contribute to life and how we experience life.
Some would argue, “I didn’t ask for THAT to happen to me!” No, you probably didn’t. Karun Gandhi, the grandson of MK Gandhi didn’t ask to be beaten twice in one week, once by a white person who hated him for his dark skin, then again by a gang of black boys who hated him for his light skin. He was only twelve. After 18 months with his grandfather he came to understand that hatred arises from fear and responding with hatred only increases the fear. He made a choice in his spirit for peace and says now that nothing could ever steal his peace again. He takes responsibility for what he contributes to life and for how he experiences it.
The same is required of each of us. We must take full responsibility for our lives and come to peace through the power of our spirits before we can feel the longing and the passion that arises from the love that we are. As we connect with the power of love, we attract the love in others. As we become firmly grounded in our true joy, our right relationships and our passion for life, we discover the power love has to change reality, and we become a creative force for a world of beauty and unity.
We are not alone in this journey. More and more of our sisters and brothers are recognizing that finding our unity and caring for each other is the next great evolutionary leap we must make. Go to You Tube.com and key this phrase into their search bar at the top.
Then imagine how much more love you have the power to bring into your immediate world.
May you be blessed with true joy, right relationships and passion for life.
