"Once I knew the depth of where no hope was and darkness lay on the face of things. Then love came and set my soul free. " --Helen Keller
A Call to Revolutionary Love
Valarie Kaur has lived the radical lessons of love that she shares as "an American interfaith leader, lawyer, filmmaker, Sikh activist, and founder of The Revolutionary Love Project based at the University of Southern California." She knows the sting of losing friends as a child because of her religion. She knows the trauma of losing a beloved family friend who was killed in a hate-crime in the aftermath of 9/11 . Even so, she chooses to love because as she says, "love is the only thing I have ever seen to create lasting change." This is the challenge she presents to each of us in this time of confusion and fear. Radical love isn't always comfortable or easy, but it offers a path forward for the courageous.
BE THE CHANGE
Can we choose to align ourselves with the power to change the world with love even in the face of hate or will we turn our backs on our chance to make the world a little better each day?
