All the Hemispheres

June 18, 2020

Many of us are living in much more isolation than usual. So the opportunities to put we into practice other than in our thinking is a bit more limited. This week the isolation began to get to me. So when I re-read this poem by one of my favorite poets, it was just what I needed. So I thought I’d share it with you, in case you need it, too.

We Love

June 17, 2020

There’s a lot of talk these days about how we are going to heal our world from the divisions that are killing us, from the destructive behaviors that are devastating our planet. In this month’s heart-centered practice of we, I have been both practicing and blogging about shifting out of me-first thinking into to we-first living. This is the essence of recovery. Recovery is what we are all seeking. So why not take a page from the Twelve Step movement and admit that we have all become powerless because we have sought fear-based answers to fear-produced problems that have made us feel that we no longer live in Love. Our lives HAVE become unmanageable. But when we remember that there is a Power greater than ourselves that can restore us to sanity, to wholeness — and that that Power is Love — then we can consciously choose to live Love by turning our wills and lives over to Love — as we understand Love. In other words, live Love.

Groupthink vs Wethink

June 15, 2020

If I see myself as one with you in Love, then I know we share common ground.

If I see you as one with me in Love, then I know we are both the loved of Love.

If every choice I make is made with the goal of the best possible outcome for we instead of me, then I have to turn my thoughts, beliefs, decisions and actions over to Love — or I’m not choosing we. Only Love can guide a we-first choice.

Groupthink is fear-based. Wethink is Love-based.

Groupthink is me first. Wethink is we first.

We First

June 14, 2020

Everyone raised in any religion or spiritual tradition anywhere was taught something called the Golden Rule.

A rule is an explicit regulation or principle governing conduct. A rule is a law.

.We all know that the only law that truly exists is the Law of Love.

The Law of Love is the Law of We.

“If you suddenly and unexpectedly feel joy, don’t hesitate. Give into it. . . whatever it is, don’t be afraid of its plenty. Joy is not made to be a crumb.”   - Mary Oliver
