For Paris

I thought I had no words. I guess personally and individually, I didn't. I listened to love. This is what I heard:

If today you are feeling terror, anger, anxiety or any other form of fear, those troubled by their own fears and who act upon them to propagate fear and terror through violence have indeed succeeded in doing so.

In any single moment our experience of life comes from a very simple choice, a choice that often seems complex yet is always at the root of all suffering, and is also at the root of all peace. What we experience is always the result of the simple choice between fear and love.

All acts, therefore, are either an expression of love, or a call for love.

Whilst only love can bring absolute and unconditional acceptance, it is not a resignation to change. Love and peace are a place to come FROM to bring about change. They are not something we achieve through action, they are a foundation for action.

Only love in action can teach love.

Whilst our love for humanity and all on this planet may require us to take forceful action to protect us from those that use violence as an expression of their beliefs, let us not condemn with our own judgment and fears those that feel most disconnected from love.

Let us have our response not be one of terror and fear, but one of unity and compassion IN love. For everyone.

If we find ourselves troubled and searching for answers, let us walk through the gateway of forgiveness that connects us back to the wisdom of love, and be willing to listen and answer its call.
