Screaming for Love

Love is the only credible value of authentic spirituality. Our world around us here in the 21st century is veritably shouting and screaming for love. People are not looking for religious formulas or cliches; they are dying for a love that is wider, deeper, and higher than ordinary soundbites.
Genuine empathy is the direct result of authentic love. To empathize is to enter the pathos, the pain of another person, setting aside self-seeking narcissism so that genuine empathy can appear. Every scream of duress and heartbreak we see around us is simply humankind longing for that deep connection.
The only cause worthy of religious or spiritual energy is a love so real that a watching world might look at it and be positively shocked. We are called to stop the finger-pointing and harsh self-righteousness, and instead step into a love that eviscerates and vaporizes shame.
I want to spend the rest of my life in this oceanic exploration, finding a way to salve the wounds and quench the thirst of a big, wide world. The biggest mistake we make is thinking we still have time. Be present, be kind, love more, and answer the cry of the world around you.
