In meditation today this arose for me and I want to share it:
Respect and love the life force, even in your “enemies.”
Respect them: the life force has created, is creating, and is living them just as it is you and me. Love them as another creation of this wondrous pulsation of life.
Have compassion for all. Everyone has an equal right to be.
Let love be your sword and shield to fight hateful and disrespectful ideas and actions. It is a force/power like none other!
With all my might, I will try more and more to cleave to this, in this very complicated time for our country and the world–where there is so much prejudice, hate, anger, fear, and worry.
May we all try to find ways to bring more light in our families and communities. This, at least, is my mission.
