Believe me, I am well aware of what’s wrong in the world right now. I am not whistling Dixie in the dark or ignoring the elephant in the room. Extreme fear is fine in the short term, in small doses, as a means of waking us up. But it cannot be our modus operandi in life. We can’t be constantly stewing in the noxious juices of our reptilian brain, tossed back and forth between fight and flight. IN A CHOICE BETWEEN LOVE AND FEAR, WE SHOULD ALWAYS CHOOSE LOVE. Always. Why? Because love is a balm for what ails us. Because love opens us and brings us light. Because love pulls us out of ourselves and makes us better, more pliable, more resilient, more joyous. BECAUSE THIS CRAZY WORLD NEEDS OUR LOVE. It needs our love to be poured over and into its many wounds. Because there is work to do and only love can show us how to change things for the better. ~ Shavawn M. Berry
