steady, open, committed to love…

🌀

there’s a lot of movement right now. some of it organic, some of it manufactured, some of it worthy of attention, some of it distraction.

in any case, it seems to me, our role as spiritual seekers & practitioners, is to stay steady with our hearts open, consistently coming back to the current moment – to our breath, to presence – in union with & committed to the path of love, embodying love, serving love, for a world in need. 

where there is cruelty, where there is harm & destruction, we must open our heart to it & put our love into fierce compassionate action to lessen & end harm where we can, & promote a healing path that is founded upon our interdependence, equity, & justice as much as is in our power to do so.

the whole deal…

🌀

it’s the whole of it. 

what is good news if it is not a Love that holds everyone, recognizing and honoring itself in all?

shake the dust off your feet from ideologies of smallness – small love, small empathy, small tenderness, small kindness, small compassion, small generosity, small equity, small justice, small peace. abandon smallness.

may we open to the fullness of love, that we may offer the fullness of love to others without bias or exclusion.

repost: Project 2025, threat to democracy…

🌀

i’m resharing a link to my blog post from last year, July 4th 2024. in it i shared a warning about Project 2025 having just read some of it & a lot about it, at that time. at that time, many historians & experts on authoritarianism were raising alarm. despite denials, Project 2025 started being implemented from day one – DOGE, cuts to humanitarian aid, power consolidation to the President, extra judicial measures, attacks on DEI, LGBTQ+, & free speech – a playbook for authoritarianism.

this post isn’t a “told you so”, rather a repost suggestion to still read up on it. all links in blog are still active. all of what is happening isn’t a surprise – though faster than anticipated. please catch up & become aware. may our democracy prevail.

reflect the light love…

🌀

may i, like the luminous moon, reflect the light that is given, the limitless light that burns bright in the darkest night, the light by which we see clearly and know fully all things, the light of love.

center in love…

🌀

when our religion or spiritual practice becomes a weaponization towards others, it is no longer about or a path to vast love, it is about ego, insecurity, and power. in such space, we have forgotten that the only way to truly and fully love (and love God) is to love our neighbor. and who is our neighbor? everyone and everything.

cruelty is lazy…

🌀

more & more i see clearly just how lazy cruelty is. it lacks integrity, dignity, & connection. it gives off a scent of weakness & fear. it requires nothing, no deep soul or heart work from the oppressor, but lays the entirety of the heavy weighted burden on the oppressed. this is the opposite of love.
