Whatever happened to love?

" LOVE .... makes your soul

crawl out from.... its hiding place. "

Whatever happened to community?

To that sense that we are all in this together

And need to care for one another

Respect one another

And work side by side

To solve the ills of our world?

How did we end up divided and angry?

Buried beneath an avalanche of distrust and fear,

Exclusion and division?

So far apart we can no longer talk to one another

But can only shout

From a distance?

Perhaps it is because we are pushing hate

Not love

And hate makes our souls hide

Seeking safety

We are the ones who must make change happen

Here

Now

Not tomorrow, but today

In this moment?

How?

Just love the next person you meet

See them with the eyes of love

Listen with loving ears

Be Present

Reach out to them with an act of kindness

Just love the next person you meet

(and then the next)

Love is contagious

(you know)

Catch it
