I write this in the spirit of Valentine’s Day, which is one of Divine Love, the love that Spirit instilled in our hearts the moment we came into existence. It is with that knowing, loving heart that we unite together in prayers of caring and compassion for all of our brothers and sisters whose lives have been so profoundly affected or lost by the fires across Southern California. We send prayers and heartfelt gratitude to our skilled and dedicated first responders, the brave enduring teamwork of our firefighter men and women who are local and who have come from many other areas, and all of those helping to assist in this unprecedented time of need. May they all be safe and well.
It is during such times of unexpected upheaval, loss and grief that we must take time to tend to both our own hearts and express our deepest loving support and generosity in any way we can to our larger family. This glorious far-reaching Love is a promise etched in forever. I invite us all to honor and celebrate this sacred promise each Sunday of February during which our theme is “It’s All About You.”
The February 16, 2025 topic is The Joy of the Limitless Heart. The art of loving the Essence of ourselves and all beings is, as T.S. Eliot describes, “here, now, always.” Right where we are and just as who we are in this very moment, is the perfect time to celebrate the magnitude of this gift Spirit has implanted within each of us. Together let us trust our capacity to expand this limitless heart to embrace our entire human family, all existence itself.
