Revolt: (n) an expression or movement of spirited protest or dissent. (v) the act of breaking away from or rising against constituted authority, as by open rebellion; casting off allegiance or subjection to the status quo.

The premise of revolt is so much more than a revolution. Revolt is both noun and verb and before long, it becomes clear that both the noun and the verb of revolt can and should happen simultaneously. When we speak of Revolution, it is also a thing of the past and something of the present (ie: join the revolution). However revolt as noun is something that is ongoing, is daily and is manifested through the action of revolt.

But this revolt is not about overthrowing governing might or dodgy leadership. This revolt is about love. After all, love is the only thing that has ever sustained the test of time. Where hatred, slavery and oppression may last for a season, these things always succumb to life, to mercy, to love.

So this revolt is towards love. Our world is against a lot of things. We protest against a lot of things. But, we hardly ever are toward a cause or an ideology. So this is a revolt towards. Towards love. Community. Each other. Towards poverty. Towards the dying and hurting. Towards the strangers. The marginalized. Towards the have-beens and the have-nots. Towards peace and non-violence. Towards spirituality and the spirit within. Towards the poor and orphaned.

This is a revolt towards love; a revolt towards a new way of living.
