Love is a Radical Act is an art installation created by Sam and Kelly. The ceramic
hearts they made symbolize that loving one another for who they are is a
radical act, and I couldn’t agree more. Allowing people to be themselves is the
true act of love. I knew I wanted to participate in this awesome creative
movement as soon as a friend had shared the website link on her Facebook page.
I
bought a pack of five hearts and have decided where each one is going. I am
mailing two of them to pals on the east coast to hang in their neighborhood.
The third will be hung near Olympia Timberland Library, one of my favorite
places in Olympia, a place that I have felt much love. The fourth is going home
with my friend Kris who is currently visiting from England. The fifth one will
be hung on the Evergreen State College campus.
I
was excited to hear that Sam and Kelly plan to visit Olympia this weekend and
host installation events. To learn more about them, click here.

| As I was typing this post up, my daughter walked into the room wearing her LOVE YOUR WORLD shirt. I had to snap a photo of her with a heart. Love IS a radical act. Pass it on. |
I
hope you’ll join Sam and Kelly in this radical love movement and order your own
hearts to display in your community. Please
visit their website to read more about the project, order hearts, and view
pictures of people who are already spreading the love.
