As
we connect with the Source of Love, engage in healing our
human wounds, we naturally act with respect and compassion toward all
creation and fully embody who we truly are.
Living from love allows us to be present, relate intimately and authentically
with each other, enjoying life as it simply is. For in daring
to respond from integrity and the wisdom of an open heart
, to a world both messy and beautiful, we live in genuine
love.
When I asked my 12-year old daughter, Yemaya, what it means
to really love, she said: "For me, it means to be trustworthy,
kind, compassionate, loyal, understanding, respectful, true
to yourself, to be honest and real, to listen, not taking
one's stuff out on others but to be responsible, to live
with an open heart and mind, to take good care of animals,
plants and people. It is simple, because the heart knows."
