Inspiring, on many levels. I especially like the distinction between ignite and incite.

I’m reminded of Gerald Jampolsky’s classic book, Love is Letting Go of Fear, which I recently revisited and wrote about in a related Intersect story about Buying vs. Burning Korans: Love vs Fear … which I’ve edited to include a link to this post.

Love needs fear sometimes. Whatever is fearless is dangerous.

Sarah, thanks for your post. I hope you don’t mind that I’ve copied into my meditation folder to use in my own prayers & meditations. Like Joe, I am especially struck by the contrast between “ignite” and “incite.”

Thank you, Sarah, for sharing this text. It’s utterly beautiful, inspiring, and so true. The issues of fear in love – I have been working on those for a very long time now, passing thru all kinds of phases… I do hope things are starting to clear up for me in that area, and your beautiful post promises to be very helpful – I’m printing it out to use as an inspiration and reminder.
