Returning to wholeness is about aligning how we love with our actions in the world, allowing each to shape the other. This kind of love isn’t passive; it calls us to engage, even when faced with strong differences. As we advocate for justice and express our convictions, we remember those who oppose us are still part of our communities. True change requires us to envision a future where no one is left out. Listening is key. When we approach others without hostility, we can understand their perspectives. You risk being changed by what you hear. This doesn’t mean we condone harmful beliefs, but it opens a space for transformation. Revolutionary love is a community practice, grounding us in a shared purpose to foster a world where all can belong.
May we listen deeply,
risking the change that true understanding brings,
and open our hearts to love that transforms the world.
