Guest guest Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 From the Anam Cara newsletter: Greetings and Namaste! Valentine's Day is a perfect time for remembering not only those whom we love, but our capacity to choose love and to be chosen, embraced by love. In the face of calamity, turmoil, the malignant horrors that humans are able to inflict upon each other, whether in Tibet, Iraq, Rwanda, New Orleans, or countless other places, we're all inspired by the light that shines through stories of love, like a brilliant blossom in a scorched desert, tenaciously alive, asserting its living presence through a person's choice to be loving, forgiving, kind and compassionate, even in the most dire circumstances. Each and everyone of us has the capacity, moment-by-moment to choose love, to be aware of the other choices we make and change course, to choose love, this instant, the next instant and the one after that. At all times, in all places, choose Love. This is the way of the Buddha, of Christ, of Gandhi, of countless anonymous saints and sages of all traditions. Choose love. Not just when it is easy, coated in chocolate, wrapped in attractive cloth, but when it means embracing what is right there, present, in any shape, form or situation. The Flames of Love Let the flames of Love cleanse you Of all clinging to illusion. Let Love illumine the Truth. Love is the most precious gift. Love is the most sublime path. Love is the most profound meditation. Love is the highest attainment. In Love - the fullness of compassion. In Love - timeless patience. In Love - unbounded awareness. In Love - all is illuminated. In Love - vast spaciousness. In Love - form and emptiness embrace. In Love - I and Thou disappear. In Love - Kalidas 2007 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 Novalees I am a fan of Valentines Day but I have noticed a thing about XX Day whatever X happens to be - President's day, Secretaries week, Veteran's Day. What I noticed is that our attention on the issue is limited to one day a year. I'd be much more in favor of calling these days-off as in " It's my day off " . Then we would focus on loving people 364 days and take a day-off, honor secretaries 51 weeks a year and take a week-off While this is somewhat tongue-in-cheek, wouldnt we all be ahead if we just took the day off instead? Love. Thanks.
