“Let’s Talk LOVE!”
Love is powerful... Love is Divine... it rides on every breath we breathe. It is Love that gives the deepest meaning to our lives. Love isn’t just an emotion… It is our highest calling, our greatest purpose. Love is a forgiving, redemptive and humble force. Love is the essence of our very Being! “Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.” ~ Rumi Love Itself does not discriminate. It is the glue that holds the entire universe together. In my opinion and based on many spiritual teachings; existence comes into being only from this power of Love. If the essence of Love is what we are in Truth, then we don’t need to seek it. However, if we have forgotten we are Love, then we simply need to remind ourselves by acknowledging and letting go of what we’re not. I have the great fortune of witnessing this essence at play every day (as do you), but most specifically I see It while performing wedding ceremonies. There is an overall vibe that whispers, “I’m in the mood for Love!”. It’s like all of humanity is present at a wedding with Love as the common denominator. Even the children exude awareness that a wedding is about Love. A wedding is the most perfect reminder of this essence called Love. Individually we may compare ourselves to the radiant couple getting married to our own primary relationships or collectively we get reminded of the importance of Love in our lives overall. Either way, the shadows of gloom rarely get a lifeline at a wedding.
Last summer I had the tremendous honour and joy of performing a gay wedding ceremony on the Virgin Radio float in the Pride Parade. This Loving Essence I’m speaking of was truly palpable that day. Thousands of people along the roadside waved and shouted, “Congratulations!” the entire time. My heart constantly overflowed with such an intense joy. Love ruled without opposite. Any opposition didn’t stand a chance. Love clearly abolishes fear just as Light abolishes darkness. This was so evident on that gorgeous summer day traveling down Queen Street… Love was in full vibrant expression! The motto of Life Navigator services is, “Follow Your Heart”, which is not just a cute saying. It represents our choice to allow the power of Love to be the guide. What better compass could there be?
