"Love like your life depends on it, because it does!" This is a lyric from my song 'Speaking of Tongues' from the album 'Stay Human'. Life requires giving and receiving to maintain balance. It is not optional for the sun to give it's rays to the leaves, or for the leaves to humbly receive them and pass their sweetness to it's fruits, to the birds, to their poop, to the roots back into the tree who's branches spread wide in gratitude to the sun.
If any were to breach the cycle of giving or receiving, life would stall.
Sometimes love is to offer someone else something beautiful, a smile, a listening ear, a hug, a delicious meal... At other times it may be to let go of some spiritual "poop" that is no longer serving you, anger, resentment, fear... Life depends on these skillful acts of letting go as much as it does the gracious acts of receiving.
Love is also to humbly take in what the world and others have handed. Sometimes what is offered might be a little shitty...okay, a lot shitty. Being able to humbly process that and transform it, into positivity is usually the hardest part of my life, but often it's the most rewarding.
As summer begins to set, I've been taking a look at all of the amazing moments I've had (some that were not so amazing) and ask myself, What is it that I am willing to generously offer and graciously receive? Who in my life am I going the extra distance for? What can I offer the world during this time of upheaval, to make it a better place? And what can I personally let go of to become a more capable steward of life?

Tell me about yours and have an awesome week! And don't forget to love like your life depends on it... because it does!
