You've Got to Have Friends Mels Love Land #MiniMag Issue 8 | Freedom

When you let love lead the way peace flows in its wake.

A recent celebration and rite of passage illuminated the circles of love and support that are always surrounding us.  Reflecting back on the privilege of participating in this deep honoring of our birth wisdom and rights I think of all my friends, past and present, I think of my family, I think about the many people I have met as I travel through the world, I think about a lot of things. But mostly, I think about how grateful I am, grateful to be able to experience grace and humor and love, everyday.

Each of us finds our own way on the path of the peaceful spiritual warrior, "capable of wrestling with Life without being defeated by living. We live in a world full of love, and spirit and vitality and most importantly eternal joy. Our freedoms are abundant. We are blessed with so much and each other. We are able to work together in harmony and justice and movement by allowing everything that naturally comes up in a Loving embrace to wash through and connect to that language beyond words, to take that beat of Love, to see everything through the eyes of that love allows everything to become lighter; the challenges, the tests and the traumas, our perceived differentness melts away past the wounds. Building into an interconnected Love arsenal. An active and valiant tool chest of openness and vulnerability.
