The kind of love I’ve been contemplating is the kind that sometimes demands action. This kind of love must listen longer and deeper than it may want to without pulling away, rushing ahead, or reacting. This is a kind of actionable love that is a way of being with our self, with others, and with the world that means we have to be willing to stop and rise to whatever occasion is before us during each given moment. The world needs this kind of love. And I have witnessed, of myself, the ways that my yoga practice has given me the skills to grow my edges to meet this kind of love.
