Guidance

                               Detail of metal handrail on footbridge, Lewis and Clark campus, Portland, Oregon


Love is the perfect compass for every moment of our lives, whether we are facing big decisions or daily choices. It is the still, small voice, the gentle nudge that says, “Go this way,” or “Take this action.” Love challenges us to rely on neither logic nor emotions, but on the wisdom of our hearts - our inner knowing. Often, the still voice of Love is drowned out by our mind chatter, and by fear in particular. But this Love-compass is indelible. It never fails. It might be as simple as, “Call so and so today,” or "Yes, that feels right," or “Take this footbridge, it’s only a little bit out of your way...” as it was with this photo. The bridge was inviting enough all by itself - a small span suspended over a ravine of overgrown greenery and towering trees. And then, on a metal handrail and about the size of a dime, was this. Honor yourself enough to follow the wise and quiet knowing within you. It is the wisdom of Love.
