This Week’s Quotation:

People’s capacity to love in a generous way is born from their spiritual body. It might be a love of the world in which a person lives and the people in it. It can include the love of family, community, or an organization. From some it might be a love for the whole world. It is also the capacity to love one other person, or even oneself, in a generous, compassionate way.

Cloak of Compassion

There is creative magic at work in every moment of our lives—don’t you think?

There is a natural movement of Spirit through our embodied selves – our bodies, minds and hearts – that sweeps in and pours out with force, and brings healing and renewal to everything in its path. The intensity of the Light flows as rivers of compassion that soak the thirsty earth of our being with the replenishing and restorative waters of Spirit. Our compassion – our feeling with another – surrounds us as a cloak that holds us and all with whom we are connected safe and protected. It is the cloak of Truth that we feel whenever we pray, whenever we deeply let ourselves touch the essence of ourselves, of other, in that most profound place of knowing our true nature. It activates the tender and resilient seeds of Life that have been held in our sacred vessels until that time when it is safe to germinate. To touch and activate Life! An explosion of Light and joy and wonder! A kaleidoscope of color and texture and flow of meaning lies within us all, within all things, waiting to be touched and seen by Other in the name of Love. Opening our eyes to Spirit, we bless our world.

What does it mean to become a sun?

Every human being is already a sun on the inside—a being of intense love and light. The difference is that some people have the vision and courage to become a sun on the outside. This difference is our human destiny.
