I am activist. An advocate. For humankind. For loving kindness. For peace. For LOVE.

Not a conditional love, which can happen easily. Often without even realizing it, we define love based on something or someone meeting a certain criteria in order for us to have compassion, understanding, and love for them. 

You might say that a conditional love means you are happy to communicate, hang out with, follow or be in the sphere of someone who shares the same views as you; on politics, politicians, activism, news outlet, religion, sexuality, and etc. You may even stop talking to (or distance yourself from) a neighbor, a friend or a family member if they do not agree with you. You might find yourself drawing quick judgement on people you meet based on how aligned they are with your view.  

I get it. This is a heart breaking time in history.

Our hearts are BROKEN.

We blame this and that for the pain, and feel justified to stay away from or reject anything or anyone that could be the cause of this brokenness.

We BLAME.

But wait. The universe is giving us opportunity for growth.

Our hearts have not been broken wide open so that we can become more narrow in our thinking and less expansive. 

Our hearts have not been broken wide open so that we can create a smaller world for ourselves; only being part of or close to things and people that we agree with.

Our hearts have been broken wide open so NOW we can see our vulnerability, our own shortcomings, and through those eyes also understand and expand out  love to all human BEings.  

We all bleed. 

We all breathe. 

I believe that the universe is calling us to be expansive in our love, to forge a way to a brand new brave love.

A love that calls us to love the un-loveable, a love that calls us to see past the surface, a love that calls us to be compassionate, to have empathy , to seek to understand and in that to grow and expand.

These days I feel more and more that we don't want to hear about expansion, or maybe even worse we claim to be expanded in our thinking while we cut out and drown out and shut out views and people that don't agree with us.

My friends, please be mindful. 

Please walk the path of love carefully. 

Let the words you speak each day be worthy of the silence you break. 

Love as activism.

I invite you to ask in your daily meditations and prayers for a stronger intuition, for the ability to rise above the circumstances that are right in front of you and  see the heart of all humanity; the call of the universe.

Here it is. 

Humanity is at risk.  Human beings are at risk. 

Hate does not heal hate, only love and unity can heal us. 

So, as provocative as this may sound to some of you, I am going to invite you today to reach out to someone who does not agree with you, someone who shares very opposite views of you - maybe even gets on your nerves. Now take a moment to see them through the lens of humanity.  Practice Ahimsa (non-violence) in your thoughts. Listen with the ears of the universe. Communicate with them with the respect of the universe. 

The universe's call for us to be more expansive; to heal authentically; to not become narrow; to become one. 

I am not asking you to do something that I don't have to work at every day. If we really want justice, and peace - love must prevail.

Will you join me?

Activate Love.
