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.

Love then, not fear be with you all today x

Yes words of love are needed.
As my film says: is not good jsut saying love, have love..we have to do it, show it.
However it can still be hard. We may do it and show it,but still people may set in in nasty ways.Sometimes those we have been good too or those who don't know us.And it can hurt and be extremely frustrating,...but we still just have to keep practicing it and showing it.We have to show love is okay.That nastiness won't win and isn't the best way.
When the world loses its head..keep yours.When people pierce your heart with arrows and spikes, take it out, and remind yourself who you are.And if they ahve cruelly misjudged you, or bullied you, point it out,....leave them to their thoughts and know atime will come when they will figure it out or be able to put themselves in anothers shoes.
