each of us can ask ourselves, “how am i showing up for the world? how best can i show up for the world?” the short answer is to show up as love, but what does that look like? this will often look different for each of us, as we open our heart to the pain, need, & suffering in our world, & respond to it. but if we practice keeping our heart open, practice bearing witness, & practice deep listening, we will find opportunity for our talents & skills, our voice & presence, to benefit this world, a world in deep need calling for our love.

what an interesting week, spiritually speaking! the Lunar New Year & Ramadan began yesterday, & now the beginning of Lent today with Ash Wednesday. these observances are invitations to journey inward & deep, to let go of all that is unnecessary, surrender to something more vast, luminous, & loving than the smallness we usually use to define our reality, & to come to know who we truly are. with Lent we have 40 days, mirroring the 40 days Jesus spent in the desert, a number that is repeated multiple times in the stories/journeys found in the Hebrew & New Testament scriptures. maybe it is the amount of time needed to go deep, to allow space for new life & insight, to shed old patterns & create new, to descent & then ascent.

whatever the case & in whatever way we may observe, may we find time & space to encounter the sacred, to center in on what matters, & to expand our capacity of heart to love a world in need.

i think one of the challenging questions in this moment, with all the harm & suffering that is going on, is “how do we show up as love in our world right now?”

there is no doubt in my mind that this moment is demanding that we respond with love. as Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio said on the stadium billboard, “the only thing more powerful than hate is love.” it would be well worth our time to discern what such radically inclusive love looks like & then do it & be it, for the benefit of all who are suffering.
