Today I was reminded of something deep inside me, a core belief, an authentic truth.
Many years ago I listened to an audio book, I can't remember what it was now I'm afraid, but the author said "i want you to dig down deep, and i want you to find a real truth, something you believe in deeply, something that gives your life shape and meaning, and i want you to attach it to a physical object so that every time you see that thing, you are reminded of this soul truth"
You won't believe it, but i was on a school bus kinda thing, it was my first day at university and busses had been sent out to the halls of residence to get the new students to the right places during their first week. So there I am, sitting on a school bus, surrounded by strangers, excited but nervous, overwhelmed as everything was new, and I dug deep and the message that came up was love, a message of love, of how love was the only thing that mattered in this world. Now this was very odd for me, I was not in a very good place when it came to believing in love, in fact I could honestly say that what I had seen of love over the last 4 years would have sent even the most devout of old school romantics heading for the hills whilst swearing off men and milk tray for the rest of eternity, but there it was, a truth so deep that it hummed through me and couldn't be shook. I was watching doves out of the bus window at that moment, so I connected unconditional love to white birds and to this day, if I see a white bird the message comes flowing back through me with a certainty that I don't have in any other area of my life. I believe in love, I believe in acting from a place of love in all things and I truely believe that love can and will change the world.
I saw a dove today, wings arched behind it as it glided to a roof top and knew it was time to share this important truth. Please drop a heart in the comments if you believe in love also.
