There is a whole kingdom of peace right here on earth that can be felt just by sharing love. I believe that far too many of us are cutting ourselves off from love and in-turn are not receiving what is inherently ours - love's life sustaining and self-healing energy. You see, love is the most powerful force on earth and it can transform anything. The secret is just to bring it forth more often.

Love is like a great holy river that pervades everything. It is in the tiniest particles that come from the sun, down to the blades of grass, the spiraling waters, and the air you breath. It is in the words you speak, the actions you take, and even in the things you don't do. You and I are even love. We were created from love and are now an extension of it. The problem for many of us is that we allow stress and the worries of life to inhibit our child like hearts. We end up closing the energy center in our hearts by letting bitterness or fear rule our lives, ultimately breaking down mind, body, and spirit.

And in order to begin receiving love's peace and balance again we have to bring love forth in our actions by opening up our hearts and letting the river flow through us. Rather than turn to heavy thought and scientific reason we turn our channels towards the streams of the soul. Rather than think negatively or judge others we speak positively and allow any inkling of judgement to pass from our minds and evaporate into thin air. The realization that we as humans are all connected and what happens to any one of us affects the whole group broadens our compassionate hearts to the truth and heals us collectively as love passes from one to another. When the tides of the spirit ultimately push us higher to elevate our hearts we continue to assist the stride by seeking also to build up and not destroy the spirits of others. Goodness of every kind is multiplied as we seek to live love. Everything positive takes place. The result is a healthy field of positive energy encompasing within and without, producing life and sustaining a peaceful balance of mind, body, and spirit.
