questions for contemplation + discussion
What does “love as living art” mean to you? Give examples, be specific.
Name one person you know (or that you witness from afar) that is your inspiration for opening as love and/or love as living art. What is it about this person that inspires you?
How can you be “danced by life?” Is this possible for you in your current state of opening? If not, what needs to happen?
“Even if you don’t have a man, why would you want to live a life that was less than devotional art? For your own sake, for the sake of all beings, for God’s sake…” What do you do “for your own sake, for the sake of all beings, for God’s sake?” Name one thing. Does this excerpt resonate or activate you? Explain.
“Love is a living art…” Can you embody this this week and share publicly (and very naturally, not in a performative way) how this moves through you, how this expression lives in you and pours out of you in everything you do…even the simplest things.
