This month the spiritual focus is love.  I have spent a lot of time during the past few months thinking about love.  What is love?  What does love mean to me?  What does love mean to others?  How do I demonstrate love?  How do others demonstrate love? 
 

This month you are invited to join me and spend some time nurturing your heart.  I did quick research and collected a number a sacred quotes from various sacred traditions to meditate on in order to stimulate the heart.  Love, the greatest healer, speaks universally:
 

Through Buddhism love says:
 

You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.  –Teachings of Gautam Buddha 

Through Hinduism love says:

What good is a body perfect in outer ways, if inwardly it is impaired by lack of love?        –Tirukural 79

Through Taoism love says:

Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.  –Lao Tzu

Through Christianity love says:

Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful; it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things.            –1 Corinthians 13:4-7  

Through Judaism love says:

Love your neighbor like yourself.  –Leviticus 19:18

Through Islam love says:

Those who act kindly in this world will have kindness. –Qur’an 39.10

Through Traditional African Religions love says:

“If I have decided to love somebody, I oblige myself to be patient with him/her. –Sumbwa Proverbs from Western Tanzania
 

The song goes…let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me.  In the same spirit I say…let there be love on earth and let it begin with me.  We often find it challenging to share love with others when we have not taken the time to love ourselves.

 

Spend sometime this month truly cherishing the people you love, starting with yourself.
 

Thank you for sharing this sacred space with me.
 

Peace & Blessings,
 

Rev. Sheila
