Conservatives & liberals & LOVE … ( 07 / 08 / 2011 )
“ Many of us find ourselves estranged from the narrow issues that define conservatives , as well as from the shallow spirituality that marks liberals .” ~ inspired by Shane Claiborne
Personally , let it be now known that I am indeed liberal -- regarding things that must change ( e . g . apathy towards strangers & cruelty towards animals ), just as I am also conservative -- regarding things that should remain the same ( e . g . cherishing our friendships and in-JOY-ing our lives ).
Kahlil Gibran is partially correct when he says : “ You cannot truly know Love unless you let it shatter you ”. And yet , Life also reminds us all that it is actually we – with our own hopes & expectations – that do our shattering ; that it is our choice to Love anyway that makes us Whole again .
