Explode into a powder to land on everyone, everything, delicate, faintly warm and scented, like something for a baby, and after that, no voices raised, no sudden movements but sunlight breaking through every possible crack or rift, expanding to light up the world with soft glints from the powder that shoot crackling messages across the waters, between mountaintops, into hearts and minds and souls, bringing breath and life to kinder notions. 18 Reply pkr6 months agopkrDear Carol Christine, thank you for sharing your words & thoughts.

All the way from simply shutting my mouth to dedicating incredible energies for 10 years to help change laws to free thousands of prisoners. Of late, love also tells me to make sure I am better cared for within the sacrificing for love. 9 Reply EJP6 months agoEJP“The fruit of love is hope. The fruit of hope is service. The fruit of service is love.” -Mother Theresa. 6 Reply Howie Geib6 months agoHowie GeibWe can be deceived, so easily it seems, by this dynamic of love as an action word. It is of course true. And yet, many times I have come to appropriate that which I discover I love. Acquisition is not necessarily protection. To take something or someone as one's own is not always nurturing. Maybe I am not fully developed in this arena, for sure, yet it seems the truest and purest love I have experienced (both receiving and giving) has the room freedom gives. So love liberates. Love teaches. Love...We can be deceived, so easily it seems, by this dynamic of love as an action word. It is of course true. And yet, many times I have come to appropriate that which I discover I love. Acquisition is not necessarily protection. To take something or someone as one’s own is not always nurturing. Maybe I am not fully developed in this arena, for sure, yet it seems the truest and purest love I have experienced (both receiving and giving) has the room freedom gives. So love liberates. Love teaches. Love alleviates and softens even the most bitter experiences (like grieving). It also demands from me a certain clarity. It is sometimes work. To really see through the fog of struggling with my own conflicting interests and selfishness to find the right path. For my own self interest is often in opposition to the welfare of that which I profess to love. Love can compel sacrifice. And, for sure, it can be like a picnic on a beach in summer. Perfect in its simplicity and with an ease and comfort which overwhelms all pain and stress, worry. That is love we bask in. And I cherish those times as much as anyone. And I know it is not simply this. It is not always easy.
