To love, be love, be loved....is that the goal? the purpose of our existence?
Today I have found another way to think about it. One can love pets, family, others, a good cause, a beautiful scene...anything. But true love is love in action. How do we show that love? What do we do about it? How do we give it away?
We love our children for sure but how do we show them we love them? We love our pets but do we show them we love them? (Believe it or not some people who claim to love their pets beat them!)
OK, so I love the mountains and being here in Colorado. It is magnificently beautiful! I guess, my challenge is...if I love it so much, what am I going to do about it? This sounds like a call to action...love in action. And, when I think about it, what can be more powerful or wonderful that this? How could we possibly do anything more positive for personal and world change that to express our love--for whatever--into positive movement?
My next step then is to make a list of all the things I love most. Then, after that, what am I going to do to show it or promote it or strengthen it for each one in a very conscious way? The message as I understand it is not to just to feel love but to be aware of it and move forward with it...i.e., spread it throughout the world...both our personal intimate worlds and the world at large.
Today, I am sending this message to all of you who read this, the people I love. Love in action--for today, it's a start.
Love to you all,
Joy
