I haven't posted here for many moons, but today am concerned.   I'm going to be looking for a spiritual path to help me find love, without judgement, without dividing into "me" and "them".

I’m concerned about the great divisions between us, from politics to religion to violence.  All great teachers have tried to teach us that we must learn to truly LOVE each other, to know we’re all one.  That means I work to love the man who shot people in the Colorado theater.  I have to work to love the people who spew hate.   I have to learn to love people in prison, to learn to love those who have been coerced into gangs.   I have to love the homeless, no matter what the reason for their homelessness is.  That’s the tough stuff, the stuff that’s so hard to learn.   Yet, I don’t know any other way we can overcome all the diversity.   Just love.  Only love.   Jesus taught this.   As did Buddha.  And MLK.  And Ghandi.   It’s the underlying teaching of all religions.    Can we begin to focus on love?
