Many of us are deeply concerned about what’s happening in the world, in our communities, and in the lives of the people closest to us. We might wonder, why do so many systems seem to be stuck in ways that are harming people and planet? Our schools and healthcare systems, ecosystems and economies, political systems and more are in crisis while most of us feel helpless to help. We seem locked in. But what if we could loosen the knots that bind us, and in doing so help those around us to also loosen their own knots? What might seem like impossibly huge global systems can only keep going the way they are if we remain tight, closed and disconnected. As we open our hearts and minds, rediscover our voices and our capacity to listen with deep compassion, things shift. Systems change. Including our own. Are you ready for the adventure? This is the Revolution of Love.
Listening with Love is a collection of interconnected essays weaving together stories from everyday life with wisdom from diverse traditions.
