Look Up!

It’s easy to look down all the time. Maybe we’re checking our phones, or worried about falling down, or wondering what’s going to happen next and imagining terrible events — and on and on. One woman I know is in a state of panic because her air conditioner was leaking water in a way it should not. Another is hysterical about a sick relative. Anxiety is rampant, and I have caught a bit of it today with news of a bug infestation in our neighborhood. Thought can easily snowball from one disaster to another when we get into that state of mind. I’m glad this has happened to me today, because it gives me empathy when talking to someone who is feeling chronically anxious. Today my worried mind was calmed by the drawing you see here. This artist lives far away and I only know her through Facebook, but I’m sure glad I do! We can do this for each other, whether we’re friends, acquaintances, or complete strangers. Let’s remind each other to look up, as there’s a whole other world of wonder up there!

“The condemnation of mortals to till the ground means this, — that mortals should so improve material belief by thought tending spiritually upward as to destroy materiality.” Mary Baker Eddy - Science & Health Page 545:7
