What do you wish for the world?

The short answer: more love.

Maybe it’s because yesterday I wrote a post about it, or because I took vows this weekend and have been thinking about how to manifest and embody them, that I keep coming back to love being the answer to every question, the fix for every problem.

More love would:
Feed the hungry.
Feed the hungers that have nothing to do with food.
Quell aggression.
Stop the fighting.
Stop war.
Spread peace.
Heal the global economy.
Lead to a clean, stable, strong environment.
Protect the environment.
Lessen our dependance on a legal system based on laws, punishment, and imprisonment.
Uncover our natural morality and ethical behavior, which doesn’t need a system or authority to tell us what is right, but rather connects to our inherent and shared wisdom and compassion.
Allow for difference, for diversity, generate love and protection for it.
End racism.
Bring about equal rights, for all.
Lead to better, more meaningful education.
Help doctors better understand how to prevent, treat, and heal illness, dis-ease.
Lead to better overall health and wellness.
Mean that everyone had a home, a family.
Recognize that all sentient beings deserve respect, care, love.
Bring joy and contentment.
Make us more mindful.
Shift our perspective to one of wisdom and kindness.
Cause us to slow down and notice, rest.
Generate gratitude and grace.
Provide comfort.
Mend broken hearts.
Break closed hearts wide open, letting in the light.
Free our innate wisdom.
Help us realize our basic goodness.
Enable an enlightened society.
Help us let go of our attachments.
Dissolve ego.
Bring an end to suffering.

So that’s my single wish for the world: more love.

For you, for me, for all of us, all of it: more love.

The Full Snow Moon asks: “What desires lie deep within?”


Restore yourself. This is your year for retreat, your year to learn to rest, to study, to practice, to find your middle path, to pray and meditate, be mindful.

Bringing your practice to life. You walk the walk, the middle way. You meditate, you sink into your yoga poses, you write and make art, you learn what your dogs have to teach you, take the walks with them and notice. Peace of mind, yoga for life.

Love the weight off. You have carried the physical weight of your suffering and grief and anger long enough. It’s time to let it go, lay it down, but remember this will only happen as you love yourself. Imagine yourself filling with light.

Uncover the hidden brilliance in you. It is there. You can no longer deny it. Its luminescence shines through the cracks, a love and truth that will burn you if you try to contain it. The world needs your light.

Document your journey, a transformational journey. This is the dream, this is the work, this is the task, this is the magic, an epic journey on which you will encounter rough terrain and harsh weather, get lost and hurt, but you will be helped and find love. You must make a map for the others who have yet to travel here, who will go on to make the same journey themselves. And remember, just because you feel afraid and vulnerable doesn’t change the fact that you are courageous, brave, and open-hearted. You are a warrior of truth and love.

Live the life you’ve imagined. This is your dream, your desire, your deepest wish, your passion.
