Mirrors of Love® Moment
. . . his or her ordinary acts of goodness and inner beauty? Who does not enjoy the inner warmth that radiates with a bright glow once a human being’s spiritual light has been ignited?
I offer to you the first flames of that igniting glow that I hope to build into a radiant illumination around the world. In Mirrors of Love – In Acts of Courage, I have etched a cross-section of literary portraits on various individuals—both famous and private—from all aspects of life who have illustrated their own unique acts of courage in their everyday lives. In surrounding our thoughts and heart in these acts, we create an experience that draws the spirit of our infinite goodness like a powerful magnet.
This project is, however, based on these assumptions:
- All men and women are created equal as human beings.
- All men and women are created in the image and likeness of God.
- All men and women are imperfect and may freely choose good or evil.
- Good and evil co-exist in earthly life.
- Evil is a natural expression of hate.
- Goodness is a natural expression of love.
- Love nourishes and stimulates growth.
- Growth, expansion, and fuller expression are the essence of life.
- Life is supported by lawful principles of absolute certainty and beauty that apply to all of us equally.
- Beauty is beyond skin deep, and needs to be expressed and nourished to thrive in life.
- Each of us is a purposeful part of the universal miracle of life.
- Each of us possesses infinite resources of courage.
Once these assumptions are understood and trusted, it becomes easy to realize how I might desire to spur interest in the courageous acts of love that human beings illustrate in their daily lives. In fact, I feel honored to express myself in this literary and multimedia endeavor. I consider this work as a very purposeful instrument that I have been inspired to accomplish through my devotion and faith in God.
In our unwavering quest for excellence, we must savor the joys, which spring forth from our daily lives and admire ourselves for our blessings while being gentle with our errors. Only then, can we delight in our quest to honor the golden rule of compassion and embrace our neighbor in a sincere celebration of humanity.
