How to Open Our Hearts
"...we get to show the world how to open our hearts." These were the words that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau spoke yesterday as he and other Canadians awaited the arrival of Syrian refugees to Toronto. Watching the video, below I could see the genuine warmth and welcome the people from Syria were given.
What saddened me is the thought that someone must teach the world how to "open our hearts." When did we forget how to do this? When did we forget the basic tenant of every spiritual path in the world to "Love one another?"
Welcoming refugees, sheltering the homeless, feeding the hungry, clothing those without clothes should not rely on politics - these ARE the guidelines given to us by every Holy text ever written.
There are many things I do not know, but one thing I do know is that this world is filled with loving, compassionate people.
May this example of Lovingkindness be but the beginning of a huge wave of Compassion and Love that wraps around the world.
Namasté!
