You need power only when you want to do something harmful. Other wise, Love is enough to get everything done.

–Charles Chaplin

Sudden torrents of water can create dramatic and disruptive change, but steady rain, groundwater and constant flow accomplish more over time with less harm. What, instead of always trying harder, we tried softer? What if love could accomplish our most important goals for connection, family, community? I think the good news is that it can.

Where can love flow in your life today, and to whom?
