Rose Quartz sings of forgiveness and compassion. It can help us to intellectually understand where another person is coming from and why a situation has occurred. With this understanding, we can then truly accept “what is” and know what to do next. Rose Quartz encourages us to respond to injustice with clear communication and nonviolent protests. But if violence erupts, Rose Quartz pushes to look beyond the violence and into the aching heart that is reacting from fear and anger. Rose Quartz reminds us that it is a relatively easy thing to love those who are similar to us, who behave the way we wish and whom we already love. It is a far greater challenge to love the stranger, the enemy and anyone who provokes fear or anger in our own heart. But what else are we here for, if not to learn how to love and to become a force of goodness and Light? Sometimes the lessons will be sweet and sometimes the lessons will be challenging. But the answer to all lessons is the same – Love. Rose Quartz shows us that the Highest Good is always served by acting out of real love, which may manifest as self-love or as love for another.
