Social Transformation as an Act of Love

Every year on Valentine's Day, we publish love letters from our community. Each year these letters find us when the coldest weeks are still upon us. The darkest days, however, have passed. Valentine's Day marks the midpoint of the transition between the winter solstice and the fall equinox, a subtle tipping point bringing longer days and the promise of spring hidden under layers of cold. A fitting moment to nourish one another with love letters.  

Letters, in all of their diverse manifestations, keep bringing love back into the centre. They remind us of the deep joyfulness of moving towards truth together. Connect us with love that is anchored in justice, power, resistance and creativity, love that is anchored in the inner knowing of our own and others’ self-worth. Learning that is anchored in humility.  The love that knows, we will experience devastating setbacks and moments of disorientation where we lose sight of the path ahead, but we know who to turn to when we lose our way.  We know to turn to each other.
