Like the potter learning to center their clay on a wheel, or the figure skater learning to center their spins on a point, the work of placing love at the center of our lives and communities will take practice. It will involve many mistakes, but when we get it right, it will be beautiful.
What is something you have practiced over and over again to be better at?
“Someday, after mastering the winds, the waves, the tides and gravity, we shall harness for God the energies of love, and then, for a second time in the history of the world, man will have discovered fire.” -Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
How have you witnessed the power of love as energy?
“I feel that there is nothing more truly artistic than to love people.”-Vincent van Gogh
How does love spark your creativity?
I have a printed piece of art in my house that reads, “In this house we love without the fine print.” Too often, love is qualified and contractual. Let us love without fine print. -Michael Tino (CLF)
How have you experienced love with fine print added?
Making love central to our being in this world means practicing accountability. It means allowing our relationships with others guide our actions. It means seeking reconciliation when we harm those relationships.
How has love shown up as accountability in your life?
