In the season of cooler weather I am mindful of the experience of the lack of heat.  There is a reason why we associate warmer temperatures with comfort.  The word warmth is one used to describe more than temperature.  In science class we learn there is no such thing as cold, there is only lack of heat.  Heat is the measurement of energy.  So in our daily lives we can measure what kind of energy we are putting into something by its level of warmth.  In our interactions, we have the option to be cold and shut off or warm and inviting.  We think it may be easier to be cold towards someone but that is because it does not require as much energy.  If we are focused on survival, we do not have extra energy to extend to others.  Extending warmth requires energy but it is energy we can get connected to if we make the attempt. The presence of love in our hearts fuels our energy if we let it.  God continually invites us to cultivate the energy within our deepest and truest self.  Our minds may try to tell us that we don’t have time or the energy to be kind and extend warmth but our hearts have a different story.
