032_ "I have decided to stick with LOVE...."~ MLK Jr.

“I have decided to stick with LOVE. Hate is too great a burden to bear.”  ~Martin Luther King Jr.

In today’s episode it seems fitting to reflect on the life modeled by Martin Luther King, who choose love over fear, light over darkness and unity for all.

Today my yummy friend Shar joins me for a  rift conversation about the ideas he represents and what those ideas mean for us right now.

Shar shares her experience as a teenager during the years Martin Luther King was a vibrant unifying figure in our nation and the seeming chaos at the time and reflects on how history repeats itself, calling it a collective ‘call for love’ we are being ask to answer with LOVE.

History, through the ages, as well as our lives does repeat itself... that’s the groovy thing about life, it is neutral. It will keep giving us chances to see where our thoughts and beliefs are out of alignment with love, wholeness and peace — until we see it for what it is and make the choice for love.

It starts with each of us. Starting with identifying with the love we are. Then standing for love in the midst whatever is going on. Standing in our true being first. Then emanating forth a vibratory field of love and wholeness, whether it is an argument, a pandemic, political unrest, the quest for equality and love, we are the gift we bring. We are the answer. We are the love.

Shar shares the prayer she begins her morning coffee date with the Divine with. It goes something like this: “Divine Love, let me set aside everything I think I know about you, about myself, others and life itself, so that I might have an open mind and a new experience with all these things. Please help me to see the truth. Let me know what to do, where to go, what to say and to whom.”

We can answer this collective call for love by taking 100% responsibility for how we choose to see the world, ourselves and everything. It opens us to presence here and now. We see that we are not victims because love is who we are; love is always the answer... so return to love is the prime directive.

We’ll wrap with the words of Martin Luther King Jr:

“Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.” ~Martin Luther  King Jr.

“Hatred paralyzes life; love releases it. Hatred confuses life; love harmonizes it. Hatred darkens life; love illuminates it.” ~Martin Luther King Jr.

Have a yummy week & a yummy day!!!
