 Editor’s note: Dear Friends, Last week’s theme was "On Noticing," and becoming aware of the needs around us. Serendipitously this week, so many stories that came in were about moving from noticing to taking action. It seems like a natural next step for humans, no matter how small the action, once we’re aware that there is a need, most of us feel compelled to do something. 🙂 -Guri |

Love as a Great Transition Story
We may imagine love to be quite utopian, but consider the alternatives. In not choosing love we are left with law and the prospect of global bureaucratic stagnation. In not choosing law we are left with force and the prospect of either global devastation or global domination. If we value our freedom and vitality as a species, we are obliged to do no less than learn to love one another as a human family. And it start with the stories we tell — because those stories shape our view of ourselves and the path we take through this time of collective awakening and global turning. To achieve authentic and lasting reconciliation as the foundation for our future, we can conscisouly choose narrative that require the power of love and compassion as a practical basis for organizing human affairs.
