Rumi ignites the fire of love for us. “Love is a fire and I am wood. It is the fire of love that inspires the flute and the ferment of love that completes the wine.”

Jeff Foster lifts us up this week. “Discover the deep YES to your life, no matter what you’re going through. Today is the only day you’ll ever truly live.”

Thich Nhat Hanh inspires this week’s talk. “For love to be true, it must contain compassion, joy, and equanimity and the practice of the Four Immeasurable Minds.

It has been said that the only one who wants change is a baby with a dirty diaper. Although we resist necessary change, it is heartening to realize it is possible.

We ask the question “Who am I?”  From this, we return to a hidden wholeness that is our true nature.  Arriving home in this place of Truth, we initiate real change within and without.

When we awaken to our interconnectedness, we are called to serve what is whole amidst the chaos.  As we live in the questions, we can start with, “What’s still true?” The clarity begins to strengthen as we transform anger into courage, sadness into compassion, and confusion into resolve. We belong together.

Hope is the energy of life shining through the obstacles we are facing.  As hope awakens we discover grace and freedom unveil themselver anew.

Woven into the web of life are patterns of connection.  We are here to discover the thread that goes through everything and holds us together.

Our capacity to see is more a place of exchange, letting the light of the world in while letting the light of the soul out.

We come alive by staying in a conversation with life.  Our spirt grows in the life of expression that carries us into the light of each moment.
