The Sweetness of Friendship



One of my favorite days of the year is the one in which my book club has a retreat. We spend the day together, and while laughing and eating and enjoying each other, we choose our next year’s books to read and we talk about any business we have to take care of. This year, I must miss this gathering of Novel Women. May everyone reach out to those they love, if not today, as soon as possible. Namaste…

“In the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures. For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed.”

Khalil Gibran


“It is essential to understand, instead of believe, what relates most nearly to the happiness of being. To seek Truth through belief in a human doctrine is not to understand the infinite. We must not seek the immutable and immortal through the finite, mutable, and mortal, and so depend upon belief instead of demonstration, for this is fatal to a knowledge of Science. The understanding of Truth gives full faith in Truth, and spiritual understanding is better than all burnt offerings.” 

Mary Baker Eddy- Science & Health Page 285:32-8


“Today, let us resolve together to accept the joyful tidings that disaster is not real and that reality is not disaster. Reality is safe and sure, and wholly kind to everyone and everything. There is no greater love than to accept this and be glad. For love asks only that you be happy, and will give you everything that makes for happiness.” 

A Course in Miracles T-16.II.8:5-8
