Wisdom Circle - The Whole is Greater Than the Sum of Its Parts


This past Friday evening, we had our Wisdom Circle as has been our custom.
The group came together and 'checked in', sharing events and occurrences from the previous week.
Then we were asked by the leader to share something that speaks about love...
The stories shared ranged from descriptions of the unconditional love of animals to the unspoken touch of a child to a CPS worker who was caring for him.
Sharing from the heart carries with it an energy of love that has its core within the
center of our being.
Since what we are and who we are is love, when we speak together of love, this love moves out from our hearts and fills the space.
Friday evening the 'love' was palpable.
We all felt a greater love than that which resides in each of us individually.
We felt the love that is created when great space is given to it.
We felt the love that is created when love is given the 'front and center' position.
We felt the love that is created when love is held in high regard.
We felt the love that is created when love is honored.

Stories of the magical connection that love creates ignite the fire within each of us to remember its power.
These happenings remind us why we are here.
It isn't to wage wars, to build buildings, to negotiate contracts...
It isn't to amass wealth or possessions.
It really is simple.
We are here to be love in action.
We are here to reconnect with each other and our true selves in love.
We are here to give love more space.
We are here to rediscover the transformative power of love.
