Every time I walk through nature and take the time to observe the wonder of the trees, the flowers, the mountains and the ocean, I marvel at the Source of All That Is.
Who is this Creator who tenderly and lovingly sculpts a flower to perfection, who created every snowflake in a sublime and perfect way? Who creates animals, rocks and trees, with loving perfection and care. And with humor.
Who has created all of us, each distinct and lovely, yet each also bearing the indelible mark of Love in our DNA, in our Spirits.
I marvel at a creation that is build upon Love and Beauty, and infinite tenderness and care. We are the ones that deviate from that perfection: with our hatred and our divisiveness, our anger and our scorn. Ego dwarfs us, makes us caricatures of our sublime natures, makes us small.
In this time that is now upon us, with venom pouring from the upper echelons of a powerful country that seeks to divide us, with the hatred that we have seen here in Canada with the recent attacks in Quebec, what we are seeing is not the rise of darkness, but its quelling. What we are seeing is a revolution of Love as a response to this infamy, a collective and global outpouring of love and compassion, which unites us.
Although we do not understand how dark acts of violence can occur, I firmly believe that there is a higher purpose for all of this. Perhaps this purpose is for us to unequivocally say NO to hatred, NO to division, and to finally return to the purpose for which we were created.
Which is to Love.
