Love

 

It would be easy to sink into the worse of the world but instead I turned to what is most divine in me.  Oshun.  Mother of Love.  Love of Olofi’s heart.  I have meditate in my Mother all morning, and in the way Chango helps me manifest what is in my crown.  Where love lives, trauma and hate can not win.  

 

It is wonderful to know this is our individual and collective super power - and this will be our theme for this Valentine’s Day.  

 

This winter has been frigid, and people surrounding me do not always have the best intentions.  But where love lives - cruelty does not win.  I choose love today.  I chose love for my entire life when I was crowned Oshun.  I chose love as the ruler of my life.  

 

My religion is a closed practice, but the meaning of Orisha is for all followers.  It is for anyone who wishes to respect their energies: Lightning/Passion, Storm/Change/Courage, Rivers/Love/Life, Ocean/Earth Life/Life Pulses, Mountains/White Clouds/Peace, Forest/Animals/Focus, Steel/Strength/Justice/Progress, Crossroads/Doorways/Destinies.

Whatever ails you deep down, I hope you can be in your personal devotional no matter what you believe in.  No matter if you believe in God or Not.  Take in the present and now you are a miracle.  Where you are alive and in gratitude - Love wins.
