We We We

June 21, 2020

Today is also Father’s Day — and since this month’s heart-centered practice is all about shifting out of me-first, me-centered thinking into we-always heart-centered living Love, I want to share how my dad and I have always been a we and always will be a we. . .and why that even matters.

When I was little, my dad was often away from home. He was lecturing about art, he was buying art for Sears, he was making movies with Roger Corman, he was doing this or that television show, he was working on behalf of the Indian Arts & Crafts Board of the US Department of the Interior, he was on this or that TV show, he was writing books and doing book tours. And none of that mattered, because when he was with me, I felt filled with his presence — the presence of Living Love. And when he wasn’t with me, I carried him in my heart. So I still felt filled with the presence of Living Love.

That taught me that Love is what is always present. And that Love is all that matters.

On Our Knees

June 3, 2020

Yesterday social media was blacked out. It was a great symbolic gesture — just as kneeling as become a symbolic gesture. But are symbolic gestures enough? They are certainly a start.

But for real transformation to happen, I believe that we must all be down on our knees both in humility and in prayer to the Love that is the only thing that can heal all our wounds.

We are living in a country where at the highest level there is no heart-centered Love-based leadership. So it is up to each of us to love even more. To get down on our knees and acknowledge our part in the problems. To get down on our knees in humility and honesty. To get down on our knees in deep conversations about change. To get down on our knees and invoke the Love that can heal. And to keep getting down on our knees in communion, solidarity, and prayer.
