February is typically the month we reflect on love, as people celebrate Valentine's Day.  I would suggest that we incorporate the idea that each day can be likened to Valentine's Day filled with loving actions.

From my perspective, love is a verb which indicates action.  Rev. Eric Butterworth said, "Despite the weight of psychological teaching or human belief, love is not an emotion or sensual experience.  It is not the plaything of human volition.  Love is the action of a totally transcendent power and process within you.  Therefore, love does not begin in you and end in the one your love.  It begins in a Cosmic Source, flows out through you, and goes on without end....Most importantly, life is not for existing or 'making do.'  Life is for loving and living abundantly for you are, innately, a loveful person."

So, if Rev. Eric Butterworth is right, how do we express more from this innate loveful person that we are?

1st - Open a space in your awareness for this as a possibility.  In other words, be willing to expand your present concept of love and loving action to a more universal energy.  Think about it, pray on it and take it to the wisdom of your heart.

 2nd - Observe yourself (lovingly - no judgements) and ask for this deeper dimension of love to gently move through you into your actions with others.

Mother Teresa has said:  "It is not how much you do, but how much love you put into the doing that matters."  So, dear reader, extend yourself to another - listen, be engaged, be patient, curious and quiet, filing your experiences with this dynamic energy of love and each day will feel like Valentine's Day.
