I believe that love rays could become an organizational technology. I believe that in each moment that a person in an organization, collective or human system experiences dissonance, be that dissonance a conflict or simply a momentary pause of uncertainty, it is possible to pause, remember that love is the root creation of the all of everything.
It is always possible to pause and send a love ray to a person we are interacting with, be that person in the next cubicle or online on the other side of the world.
Sometimes, for me, a very quick pause to remember that I am a creature of love shifts everything.

love is everywhere
OK. I am going to use this blog to develop my thinking around using love as a systems change technology. Seriously. I am going to write real stuff.
But right now, I am drowning in love. All of my interactions with everyone are so wonderful. I am breathless and blissed out all the time. Were people always this wonderful and somehow I did not previously see it?

thinking about love. . .
. . . the great and incalculable grace of love, which says, with Augustine, "I want you to be," without being able to give any particular reason for such supreme and unsurpassable affirmation. -- Hannah Arendt

The Culture of Love
I attended a three day meeting of the GiGis (short for Geek Girls). We are a miniscule thinktank of awesome women aspiring to feminize the internet. I shared my belief that there are only two possible filters on reality, a filter of love or a filter of fear. And that our goal is to have a culture of love.
Next, I attended BlogHer, a 700+ gathering of women bloggers. Wow. Zowie. Women should rule. Women will rule.
My friend and colleague Nancy White called, during a cocktail party, for a return to the culture of love. And then we all sang "All You Need is Love".
And then, on the final morning plenary of BlogHer, the music-audio didn't work and the whole room burst into "All You Need is Love".
Wow. Zowie. I can't believe I made such a difference.
