Love as a Great Transition Story

We may imagine love to be quite utopian, but consider the alternatives. In not choosing love we are left with law and the prospect of global bureaucratic stagnation. In not choosing law we are left with force and the prospect of either global devastation or global domination.

And it start with the stories we tell -- because those stories shape our view of ourselves and the path we take through this time of collective awakening and global turning.
