Turning Love Inside Out

What does it mean to put "Love in Action"? We think about loving others, and we usually enjoy loving people who love us, or like us. But often even that stays theoretical, just like this email. I'm typing here at my desk about love, but what am I doing about perpetuating it?

A friend of mine has started a project called "Turn Love Inside Out". It reaches out to all people, of all faiths, to penetrate them with what Love truly is. I think you'll find the website turnloveinsideout.com a beautiful endeavor in perpetuating love in practice. I hope you can be a part of the community there too.

If someone has been hurt or disappointed, whatever your message is won't matter much, (that is, if you happen to have a message you'd like to tell them.) What will make a difference is genuine care, and a love for them that transcends sentiment. Love that comes from the Source of Love is love that comes from the inside out. We become vehicles, not just mere receptors for Love once this occurs, and the ripples go on and on.
