Throughout the world, there is a shift happening. People are waking up to the changes in their lives, in their neighborhoods, in their worlds, and in their hearts. People are noticing the radical changes happening and are speaking up about creating a more equitable, sustainable, and loving world. I have been listening. I have been watching. I have been having conversations. I have been chanting. I have been praying.
As Occupy Wall Street has made its way to other cities, towns, states, and countries, there is something bubbling up. It’s more than arrests and protests shown on the news. It’s a movement. For me, it’s a movement towards grace. All it takes is one heart to change and a revolution (there is love in revolution) has started. It’s a movement of waking up. It’s a movement of noticing what is occupying my mind, heart, soul. It’s a movement towards building community, creating dialog, and opening up to more love.
When I meditated on the Occupy Movement, I sat with the question: How can we occupy more love? Here is what my meditation revealed:
How can each of us occupy more love? How can you liberate love in your every day interactions? All it takes is one loving heart. Love creates more love and more love and more love.
The voice of love starts inside and only then can it echo outwards. Notice what is occupying your mind, body, spirit, family, and world. All of it starts within. Breathe. Breathe love.
There is so much love to be shared and it comes in many forms. We love “love” so much that we share it with our words and actions. We love ourselves so much that we can move beyond greed. We love our country so much that we are willing to share with our neighbors. We love our world so much that we create policies that reawaken the planet.
How are you liberating love? What is your Occupy Movement that you are waking up to? What is occupying your mind, body, spirit, and soul?
I have more listening to do.
