love is our work.

our work here is to continually open ourselves to love. so where our love ends, where we begin to exclude, where we begin to label “other” is where our work is.

we can begin this work by asking ourselves “why?” why do i want or feel a need to exclude? why do i want or feel a need to label something or someone as “other”? what is underneath the feeling to do so? if we are brutally honest about it, the answer is likely fear, & this is generally something that we don’t want to admit to ourselves. it takes deep vulnerability to do so and such vulnerability requires immense courage. 

if we do so, the façade, the walls that we have built up to protect ourselves, to protect what we think is true, begin to crack & crumble. we think our world will fall apart – & it will, but this is the work of love, to undo all that is not true, all that is not love. 

it is in such spaciousness that fear loses its footing. without fear, other people & forces lose their power to manipulate & control us. love is the true freedom we are seeking, it aligns us with truth, with life, & each other.
