April 19, 2015 - Active and Quiet Rest

“I rest in God.”

Since the closing of my gallery at the end of 2014 and the changes in my mobility, I haven’t been to many social events. Today I went to an art show which a dear friend was having at a lake-front house in an idyllic setting. Not only did I revel in her beautiful art, but I saw many artists and friends whom I hadn’t seen in quite some time. It was inspiring and invigorating and I’m glad I went. These last few months of relative solitude have enabled me to rest in God more easily than ever before. I found that this rest was not disrupted by the cacophony of mortal thought which bombarded me out in the world. It was with gratitude that I watched and felt people’s loving care and fearful worries being expressed. I suddenly realized any number of ways I can be of service in the world by allowing the experience of God to flow through me. I am grateful for the rest — both quiet and active!

Mary Baker Eddy quote:
“…when we realize that immortal Mind is ever active, and that spiritual energies can neither wear out nor can so-called material law trespass upon God-given powers and resources, we are able to rest in Truth, refreshed by the assurances of immortality, opposed to mortality."
