The Celebration of Love

Added April 2003 - Pictures to print out and colour in!!

Jan's Introduction:
"Some years ago a group of us over here decided that we wanted a day set aside in which we did nothing other than celebrate love and beauty, in all their many wonderful forms - a day upon which surrender and serenity became watchwords and valuable learning tools over the years.

"A while ago that group was together and wondered whether the people at Angel Paths would like to join in. When we mailed out the COL newsletter outlining what we had in mind, we received the single most heavy response we have ever had from a newsletter topic. Many many of you want this to happen....

"So....Celebration of Love day takes place from the time that you wake up until the time you go to sleep. And may the light you gather to you remain with you throughout the year.

"We have built up a lot of traditions over this time....we want to share these with you, gather up your thoughts for additions...and then develop a loose framework of activities, celebrations, prayers and actions that reinforce the whole vast concept of love.... You can pick out what you want to do for yourself. From experience let me tell you that you can get a lot out of doing this alone....but it is nice when shared with friends too. On the day itself nobody will be alone...cos we'll all be here!!

"Songs of the day always include "All You Need Is Love" and "Imagine"....plus whatever other beautiful music you have that talks about happiness, love, hope and just lifts your spirit. We burn pink candles, beside pink roses, and we say the Prayer to Love, written by Saul (you can read a verse of this on the Gratitude road....) We make little signs reading Love and put them all over the house, along with hearts and rainbows (usually make these in advance) Pink and white and rainbows and doves are everywhere. We go to look at Springtime (easier in Britain than some places admittedly ;-) We spend quiet meditative moments thinking about love and joy and splendour. We eat chocolate covered strawberries and our favourite foods. We do our favourite things.

"Over the past six years dedicating a day to love like this has produced some quite remarkable things...Angel Paths for one.... And I really believe it makes a difference to the Universe that we do it.

"That many more of you would choose to join in excites me so much....I feel bubbly and joyous and fizzy inside when I think about it....

"I invite those of you that already know the COL to share your experiences with the others. And those of you who have not....let's hear what you think.
