Love is not just a feeling, it's an action too; emotional energies naturally become action if we follow them through. Being willing to face our fear gives us courage to move. Expressing our anger all the way brings us to forgiveness. Truly releasing into sadness we find the ability to surrender totally to life. Being full of joy we become naturally generous. And compassion simply is service. This is our map of loving: love is courageous, forgiving, surrendered, and generously in service. So here is our practice: to move through our emotional world deeply enough to not only feel love but to be loving, to open up the pathways from fear to love in movement, so that our feeling becomes an offering to the world around us.
