Birth of a New-Old Idea

Arches National Park - PC: Aaron Springston

Change is everywhere. Some of us do not care for the changes we are making, while others are seeing more efficient ways of doing things they always took for granted. The avenues we've become accustomed to strolling are sometimes closed, causing us to turn disappointedly down new paths. I love seeing disappointment turn into joy when a new talent is discovered. Perhaps someone you know has the freedom now to explore ways of life they had only dreamed about prior to this major shift in our lives. Speaking of dreams, is anyone else having vivid, lucid dreams? I look forward to going to sleep every night to see what new ideas I'll wake up to! My friend, Carol Peacock, posted a great idea to Facebook today. For Halloween, the kids (and adults!) can dress up and hang out in their yards, while we drive by and toss candy to them! I love this new/old way of thinking, don't you? Before we thought we knew everything, we were always dreaming of new and better ways to express ourselves. I'm watching a huge orange harvest moon show itself right now, wondering that something so familiar can seem so exciting and brilliant. You and I are like that, too. Shift our thoughts just a bit, look at a friend in a new light, be willing to watch and wait...

"As a material, theoretical life-basis is found to be a misapprehension of existence, the spiritual and divine Principle of man dawns upon human thought, and leads it to 'where the young child was,' -- even to the birth of a new-old idea, to the spiritual sense of being and of what Life includes. Thus the whole earth will be transformed by Truth on its pinions of light, chasing away the darkness of error." Mary Baker Eddy - Science & Health Page 191:8
