Send Love — It Matters
by Carrie Newcomer
[Listen to Audio!]
 Somewhere someone needs help.
Send love.
It matters.
If you can’t get there yourself,
Then take a deep breath.
Breathe in the weight of their troubles,
Breathe out and send all those burdens
into the Light
Where sorrows can be held
With the most tender and infinite grace.
Breathe in what you can do.
Breathe out what you can’t change.
Spool out a thread of connection.
Send courage and calm.
For the nights can be long
And filled with shadows
And sometimes terrible
Unexpected waters will rise.
Somewhere someone needs help.
Send love.
It matters.

About
Back in 1997, one person started sending this simple “meditation reminder” to a few friends. Soon after, “Wednesdays” started, ServiceSpace blossomed, and the humble experiments of service took a life of its own. If you’d like to start an Awakin gathering in your area, we’d be happy to help you get started.
