“She was damn happy to be alive.
She didn’t have millions in the bank.
She wasn’t at the top of the
corporate ladder and still her deepest
dreams ... though she pursued them
hadn’t yet come true. But still
she was damn happy to be alive.
She had people to love; a roof over her head;
she had all the essentials for living;
water, gas electricity, food;
she could appreciate the flowers blooming,
the sun beaming and the skies blessing.
She had good books to read.
She spoke to the moon at night.
She often had a good sing in the shower.
And she lived her life with a touch of her own style.
The world’s mindless noise went quiet at the
sight of her relentless joy.”
~ S.C. Lourie
“The Holy Spirit begins by perceiving you as perfect. Knowing this perfection is shared He recognizes it in others, thus strengthening it in both. Instead of anger this arouses love for both, because it establishes inclusion. Perceiving equality, the Holy Spirit perceives equal needs. This invites Atonement automatically, because Atonement is the one need in this world that is universal. To perceive yourself this way is the only way in which you can find happiness in the world. That is because it is the acknowledgment that you are not in this world, for the world is unhappy.”
A Course in Miracles T-6.II.5:1-7
