Love is not dead, not defeated, not damaged, not out of reach. Love has not been bought, sold, or stolen. Love is not a wholly-owned subsidiary of any corporation. The kingdom of loving is within you. Love is not something you fall into. Love is something you make and keep on making. Love is an act of will. Love is a way of life. Love is the opposite of greed. Love is not blind; lust is blind. Love sees truly. Love is the only path to our survival. Love is revolution.

Revolution cannot be violent. Revolution is change. Violence is just more of the same damn thing. There is no use fighting to save the world with violence. The rulers of this world have more weapons and fewer scruples than anyone else. Violence is their game. We cannot win that game. We must stop playing it. To survive, we must play a new game. We have been convinced that we are powerless. That is a lie. Our strength exists in one another. Love is real change. Love is revolution.

The world is changing. Learn to travel light. When catastrophe strikes, none of your stuff will help you. The things you own will mean nothing any more. The people you know will mean everything. Be ready for the change. Pay attention to your friends and your community. Help where you can. We will survive by taking care of one another. You have been told that you have no power; but you have the power to do right by other people. Selfishness is suicide. Love is revolution.

When the old world ends, the new world begins. In the old world, money was power. In the new world, spirit is power. You choose to make the world better or worse with every act. This is your power. Race, nationality, class, gender, physical appearance – these matter in the old world, not in the new. The most important things in the new world are the quality of your awareness and the strength of your relationships. The old world ran on greed. The new world runs on human connection. Love is revolution.
