Let There Be Light

I am not a morning person but my hubby is... This morning at 6 am we packed up our blue beach chairs and headed for the ocean in the car we listened to a CD of Reverend Rose's Sunday sermon she talked about judgmental thinking how we make up stories about other people and situations infusing ourselves with fear and negative emotions this kind of perspective prevents us from seeing the beloved in everyone We arrived at the shore in time to view the sun dancing across the pink horizon, leaving a trail of golden footprints in the playful waves. Setting up our beach chairs to face the gently rolling surf David took out his book on the "Course of Miracles" the lesson for the day was: "God is my strength in which I place my trust" together David and I meditated on this truth feeling it sink into our bones I was reminded of a heart opening exercise: mentally I asked God to help me experience His love I waited in the quiet cove within slowly I could feel the flower of love unfolding to bright interior rays a strong whiff of jasmine carried by lofty sea breezes pervaded the salty air. After our meditation David and I raced towards the beckoning azure vastness, diving in we floated buoyant, blissful Two lotus blossoms on an endless, eternal sea
