My book club has often been mentioned in these daily writings. We are a group of women who have met for over two decades, with a book at the center of our monthly gathering — but reading is just the vehicle we use to get together and enjoy each others’ company. Some of us think logically from the standpoint of science; others live intuitively from the heart. Our group includes teachers, body/mind/spirit workers, a veterinarian, businesswomen, farmers, a librarian — actually, a single definition isn’t enough for any one of these women. They are multi-talented and diverse. We have incredible discussions and enjoy one another more than I can say. It doesn’t matter if we agree with each other’s opinions, because we all live from the space of Love. Everything we do is guided by something larger than what our human reason can encompass. It seems this group of women could solve all the problems of the world — and actually it feels like we have done just that every time we get together! Thinking about them and basking in our friendship reminds me that problems come from a belief in separation, and I thank these women for helping me to feel whole.
“Let me realize today that the problem is always some form of grievance that I would cherish. Let me also understand that the solution is always a miracle with which I let the grievance be replaced. Today I would remember the simplicity of salvation by reinforcing the lesson that there is one problem and one solution. The problem is a grievance; the solution is a miracle. And I invite the solution to come to me through my forgiveness of the grievance, and my welcome of the miracle that takes its place.”
—A Course in Miracles W-90.1:2-6
“Human reason and religion come slowly to the recognition of spiritual facts, and so continue to call upon matter to remove the error which the human mind alone has created.”
—Mary Baker Eddy - Science & Health Page 173:25-28
