Dance on the skinny branches

Dr. Lori Todd: Stand on the Skinny Branches

Dance on the skinny branches.
Invite people to dance with you.

When you invite people to stand on the skinny branches with you, it is really a metaphor for you inviting people to stand with you for transformation in the world. You are inviting people to live distinctions of responsibility, oneness, integrity and love. You are inviting people to see the world through new glasses. Imagine standing with a team of people who are agents of change. Risky business.

“Love means to commit oneself without guarantee, to give oneself completely in the hope that our love will produce love in the loved person. Love is an act of faith, and whoever is of little faith is also of little love.” Erich Fromm

“In thus giving of his life, he enriches the other person, he enhances the other’s sense of aliveness by enhancing his own sense of aliveness. He does not give in order to receive; giving is in itself exquisite joy. Giving makes the other person a giver also and they both share in the joy of what they have brought to life. In the act of giving something is born, and both persons involved are grateful for the life that is born for both of them.” Erich Fromm

There are people around the world standing for transformation.  Today I acknowledge the graduates of WorldLegacy, who stand for peace and a world that works.
