Thank you for taking a moment to pause. Take a deep breath. Sigh. Let go.
These have been such incredibly challenging times, and yet, I believe with my heart and soul, that you are up to this. You are up to the challenge of being a lamp to lighten the way for others and you are the voice of reason and of compassion in a time of insanity and divisiveness.
You are a spiritual warrior. Let’s take this moment to stop and reconsider that we have the power to live as we really are and this is freedom. In April of last year, I wrote a love letter and contemplation called “Pandemic of Grace” and below I share one of the last entries. I share this hoping it uplifts you. I share this hoping you find encouragement. I share this hoping you choose to remember your real purpose for being alive.
Isn’t it the only purpose? To love?
Listen.
I AM CALLING TO YOU FROM WHAT APPEARS TO BE VERY FAR
BUT IS AS CLOSE AS YOUR OWN BREATH
I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS
AND IN THIS AGE I BRING MY MESSAGE OF HOPE
COMPASSION, MERCY AND LOVE TO YOU AS A GRACE
THAT AS YOU AWAKEN
YOU REMAIN IN THE WORLD
A LIGHT FOR ALL OTHERS WHO STILL ARE DREAMING A DREAM OF DEATH.
AWAKEN AND KNOW
AWAKEN AND REMEMBER
ABIDE IN LOVE
ABIDE IN MERCY
ABIDE IN COMPASSION
ABODE OF GREAT LIBERATION
AS YOU ARE NOW
SO I AM
We can choose how to be in this world and to bring to this madness a sense of peace and security. We have the choice and we have the capacity to love far beyond measure.
In the end, it is the standard of love that we are measured by and Love – it is immeasurable.
