 "Peace Comes From Knowing That Only Love Is Real" read an Angel card I pulled during morning meditation on vacation. That might feel hard to hear, and yet something about it draws us, pulls us.
Many faiths teach that there is only an animating force of light and love pulsating in the universe. That there is not a force of darkness or hate. There is only a shutting off of light and love, that we experience painfully as darkness and hate.
With my eyes filled with green, blue skies beyond swaying leaves, I can "feel" it, and believe it more.
 Yet, I want to believe it, live it, give it back, yes, back in the world, yes, back in the cities.
Perhaps our best reason to "retreat," however we do, is revival and renewal, to re-engage with all the highest hope and faith we have to give.
We can hear the song our lungs sing, on average 22,000 times a day. Love breath in, love breath out. Life's love language in and through us. Chi in Chinese. Ruach in Hebrew. Prana in Sanskrit. Life. Spirit. Breath. Love.

 In 2014 I read Judith and Ike Lasater's book, What We Say Matters and thus was introduced to the late Marshall Rosenberg's groundbreaking teachings on non-violent communication (NVC).
 Today, eleven years of glorious learning later, Compassionate Communication is how I view it. I love how clear and accessible the teaching and practice can be, applicable to daily life in every way.
 I welcome you and anyone to taste this in your life, via Thom Bond's Compassion Book or the weekly Compassion Course online that begins June 18.
Could there be a world needing the medicine more than my/your/our world, right now?
