Love is not a passive state. It is an active force. It is the force of the soul.

If you wish the world to become loving and compassionate, become loving and compassionate yourself.

This is my experience of Oprah Winfrey - she makes decisions as frequently as she can to contribute with consciousness, with awareness, with love. I know - this is the source of her joy, her vitality, her unending creativity and her connection to people.

The winter solstice has always been special to me as a barren darkness that gives birth to a verdant future beyond imagination, a time of pain and withdrawal that produces something joyfully inconceivable, like a monarch butterfly masterfully extracting itself from the confines of its cocoon, bursting forth into unexpected glory.

You are a soul that is temporarily utilizing your body.

Authentic power is a new potential of this expanded perceptual system that we are all being given as a gift.
