Love In A Divided World- March 02

In a world that often feels split by opposing views, there is one gift you can offer to everyone, no matter where they stand. In today’s 5 Minutes in Nature, Liz reflects on love—and on the quiet strength of truly listening with love. She comes to see that this simple yet powerful act is something she can always give, even when the world around her feels strained by conflict and strong opinions.

I agree wholeheartedly Liz. However, the US is so divided and it is so hard to understand the support for this cruel and punitive government. In friendships and with my students where there is that difference of opinion it appears that it’s best not to discuss current events and make an effort to home in on areas of commonality. So in my classes I share inspirational readings of love, compassion and kindness and in my friendship circles we talk about our families, places we’d like to visit, our pets etc. Anything other than what is going on in the world. So I listen to IT talks whenever I am tempted to go on social media or read the news. Thank you Liz for your delightful diversions. I miss Blighty! 🩵🙏☮️

Hi Liz, I’ve not been listening everyday to your talks but popped in on this one and agree wholeheartedly that we must operate from love! That said, in the US right now and in the city of Minneapolis and state of Minnesota in particular, there is ongoing violence against both immigrants and citizens alike through ICE and acts of retribution by Trump and his administration. My oldest sister turned 85 yesterday and she’s suffering first hand as witness to it all. Anyways, these actions are not just about a different perspective, they are evil. So it’s super challenging to know how to respond -except to stand up in loving resistance..and of course to love those I know personally on the ground in Minneapolis (my sister and her family). I just had to share this as it’s front and center on my mind this morning. Thanks for all you do with your reflections!
