PASSION. A massive pulse of life moving towards life. A sense of being radically connected, interconnected and TOUCHED by all of life. It takes passion and a mature tolerance for sustained intimacy to do any work of real greatness. We are ALL called to a Great Work at this time - a re-making of our place in the world as if the Earth and All of Life mattered. And this lust for life, this movement towards action inspired by love, I might call, well, sexy.
What if the whole of humanity suddenly layed down and felt the pulse of the Earth beneath us? What if millions of people simultaneously reached out with a simple, quiet and compassionate hand to another human? What if 144,ooo people made love at once with the conscious intention of dissolving all fear, isolation, discrimination and hatred? At the very least, the world would be a more peaceful place for just a moment. At the very most, a supernova would ignite, firing both compassionate action and awakening hearts simultaneously. The base impulse of life is to generate, perpetuate and LOVE life. If this isn't sexy, well then... what is? So, perhaps global warming is pushing us towards something - towards loving ourselves, towards loving eachother, and towards living our lives as though we trusted that love was more than enough.
