What would love do?

"O Love, O pure deep Love, be here, be now,

Be all – worlds dissolve into your
stainless endless radiance,
Frail living leaves burn with your brighter
than cold stares –
Make me your servant, your breath, your core." - Rumi

What would love do?

Ever asked yourself that question?

See how your day is transformed when you flash yourself awake, before you act.

The next time the phone rings, take a breath, and ask yourself: how would Love answer? Then, let Love answer, no matter who is calling. Love always knows what to say.

What would Love say to the people you meet today: to your family, your friends, to the dog, the bird, the people on the street? The guy who drives you crazy at work? The beggar on the corner? Love is not guilty or dogmatic. Love knows what to do.

Love is not a wimp. Love stands up for justice, for truth, for dignity, and sometimes that means being Fierce. Fierce Love, Fierce Compassion, Fierce Gentleness. Fierce Sensitivity. Don't insult Love with a hallmark imitation. We're talking about the real deal here. Love is able to remain loving, unconditionally, in every circumstance, without exception. That's fierce.

Sound like too much work to be Love all day? Then wait until it's really needed-the moment irritation or anger or fear arises. Stop for a moment before you respond. Look at what it is that's really triggering you. Can you approach this problem with freshness, with aliveness, as it is, not with a big bundle of pre-conceptions that stops you from seeing the other as a real human being, someone who suffers and dreams, just like you?

Before you respond to anyone or anything, ask yourself: what would Love do?

Awaken yourself to Love-in a flash.

Comment by Martin Carriere on February 4, 2009 at 4:05pm: In velcro times
love is often heard
amid the rips of fabled fear
torn from our hearts with
a gentle tug of life's
reminder that we need
only whisper our true love
to every soul we meet
and every thing we touch
Let me touch this day
with a window to my soul
to let the wanderers in
and let my feelings flow
surrounding hate with light
beauty grows in the dust
with encouragement and joy
holding on the reins of night
we fly through the sky to
raise the day and give love to all

LOOL
Martin

Comment by Stephen Decle on February 4, 2009 at 4:04pm: For me, I need to recognize that my opportunity of being here and being alive is the greatest opportunity. I look for and discover many things in my day, but what I really need is to pay attention to the most beautiful gift called life. Without it, none of this that I am perceiving or experiencing would be possible. So what would love do? Love would want me to know that thing in me called life, and to love it. It is the ultimate giver.Words are not enough, even though they may be beautiful and inspiring, knowing takes a bit more than intellectual understanding.To know that one thing that is the same in every single human being.

Comment by Emett Stasiuk on February 4, 2009 at 1:41pm: Very nice. Thanks

Like the rose tinted glasses famous of the old saying... only better! Don't forget your Love tinted glasses...

Perhaps love looks out and finds it easier to see the truth when there's some mental ummph, practiced and consistent, to using the Light of Love. Seeing takes light, and seeing Love does too. Shine your Love and you do see more love around you...
-peace, e

Comment by Elisabeth S. on February 4, 2009 at 12:22pm: Salute!
Love cannot live without Compassion!
Sometimes I wonder if violence is not eternal and universal? where is going to be Love in the lives of children born within war? where is going to be compassion if we cannot see that we are all different but at the same time alike?
Peace and Love
