Good News Friday: The Revolution is Love

When the Revolution is Love video popped up on my screen, I almost clicked away without a look. What a treasure I would have missed! What hope, what sheer joy for the change that is happening right now. Folks, our young people are leading the way to a world the rest of us have imagined but too often despaired could exist in our lifetimes. And they're doing it with verve.

In this short film, Sacred Economicsauthor Charles Eisenstein, snags my attention from the get-go. Speaking of the Occupy movement, he says it's not about us (99 percent) versus them (1 percent).
This movement isn't about the 99 percent defeating or toppling the 1 percent. You know the next chapter of that story, which is that the 99 percent create a new 1 percent. That's not what it's about. What we want to create is the more beautiful world our hearts tell us is possible, a sacred world, a world that works for everybody.
That's just for starters. Such wisdom in one young body. I give deepest gratitude for this man and for the people who made this video. Watch. Take heart. Share. The revolution is love, and that's the best news possible.



More than ever, I can see a world like Ordinary approaching. Will it take work? Sure. Will there be plenty of heartache? Of course. Is it possible now? What do you think?
