Something we all experience. Something that we all know. Something we yearn for more than life itself. Yet something that few of us truly understand. It takes so many forms, is so ubiquitous and pervasive that sometimes I think of it as art’s cousin. The main difference between generated art and created art, is love. The same as the difference between a relationship and a marriage. Between a transaction and an exchange.
Love is something so special and crucial to our existence that its lack burns the very fabric of our souls. Those who aren’t loved exist in such pain that they lash out and try to spread this pain. To make everyone feel as aggrieved as they do. However, the inverse is true as well. Those who know the transformative power of love and who have experienced its light feel compelled to spread that goodness as well. To uplift their surroundings, and make everyone feel as loved as they do.
It is not an easy ask by any means, but I really need your help with this one. Ask yourself, what am I spreading today? What am I spreading in this very moment? Is this the kind of person that I want to be? We all want more love in the world. We all want more justice, more peace, less violence. The only way to combat these ills is to remain resolute in the face of adversity. We must love in the face of fear, in the face of rage and in the face of uncertainty and pain. We must love ourselves and love each other radically in order to create a brighter future for ourselves and our kids. We gotta love each other especially when its hard. Have those hard conversations and hold each other accountable. Uplift and encourage and celebrate each other. A win for you is a win for me. Sometimes you might have to give more than you get, but I promise you tomorrow you’ll get more than you give. Everything will balance out in the end, I promise. N remember! Stay wayvy <3.
LOVE
In the wayvywork of the week, LOVE, I take a crack at combining all the loves that matter to me. Whether its the sentiment behind the footsteps in the sand, the vindication and support I feel from the angels surrounding me or the simple love and appreciation I have for nature. It’s honestly in those moments, when the hum from our contemporary lives is lowered to a gentle whisper and I can hear God’s voice boom from every corner of the earth. From the babbling brooks to the tall redwoods to the swamps and beaches. The angel is one without a face as I believe one should love to love, not to be known, and also to represent that often times love comes from and at times we least expect. Nonetheless, it is a crucial element in our lives, just as water, shelter and food are. Love is the driving force that will catalyze change in our world, not money, not power and certainly not technology. Our love for ourselves, each other, our environment and our future is what will inspire the next great leader. I hope he comes soon though, I’m getting a little tired of waiting in squalor. But I digress. Stay wayvy y’all <3
