Over the next few weeks, we want to share a few of our BIGGEST and DEEPEST-held beliefs here, at Seeds … and we hope it sparks and connects with something DEEP in you, as we do. May we continue to find our stories in the stories of one another. 

This is the first…

We BELIEVE in LOVE. ❤️
It is the primary fuel for all we do.

This kind of love sustains fierce dreams.
It also ignites action.
It’s strong and brave like you (yes, YOU!).
It inspires us to take small steps
and contemplate massive leaps that matter
as much at home as abroad.
It invites us to care and dare for one another,
through shared story and collective experience.
This kind of love fuels change.

Take a moment to think about what you believe in, to consider what really, REALLY matters to you. What connects in YOUR STORY from what we shared about believing in love? What phrases or words capture your attention? Hold ’em close. Ponder. Explore. What treasures are here, right here, waiting for you to discover?

Check out last week’s PoP (Place of Pause) with a nudge to BE a warrior of love – or take a peak of a few pieces of this PoP right here.

BE Still. Surrender.
Let go of what you believe in,
your longing to make a difference 
or to BE a warrior of love.
Here, right here.
Just BE.
Breathe.
See what confines, what saps, what discourages and
let
it
go.

Ponder. Go Deeper.
What do you feel curious about or compelled to fight for or against? What would you train for, even to the point of exhaustion, and perhaps beyond what you feel capable of doing? Imagine what or for whom you would be willing to fight. Is it in the context of your everyday, with those you currently serve and love? Or is it about reaching out to a new someone that is capturing your attention and heart?

Do you not know your something to live or fight for yet? Are you still on the hunt? Don’t compare, measure, or allow the messages that you are not enough, moving too slow, or going too fast to diminish you. Keep walking, exploring, and trusting—even before you understand it… (Read more in this excerpt from Soulfully Ablaze.)

Commit. Engage.
Dialogue today in your way within your own, private, personal connection with the Sacred or with someone you deeply trust about this vocational invitation to BE a warrior of love. If you have a question in your heart, speak honestly about it. Ask for clarity, focus, energy … whatever you need. Commit to doing one thing today from this exchange of conversation. Download a Bag of Love toolkit and gather some friends and family to join you in this tangible way to care for those on your city’s streets.

When the dignity, security, and well-being
of those who BElong to us
—one or many—
are being challenged,
let’s
do something.
Let’s standTALL.
Let’s be upstanders. Let’s shout.
My friend, to BE a part of this formidable, unstoppable army,
you need only claim it.
You
are
a warrior of love.

YOU are loved.
YOU belong.
We belong to each other.
Let’s standTALL together and light up the world.
