A Course in Miracles Lesson #274
“Today belongs to love. Let me not fear.”
Hundreds of thousands of motorcycles enjoy the beauty of our Ozark Mountain roadways. There is a nearby event which draws them to northwest Arkansas in these numbers. For many of us (including merchants in downtown Eureka Springs) it’s a trying time. It seems that as the noise level heightens, the light atmosphere of peace and beauty we’ve become accustomed to becomes a bit heavy with anger and irritation. The powers that be inform us we should be happy to have the money that comes to our area from this influx. And so many of our residents grit their teeth with a smile as they dole out food and booze and jewelry to this seemingly hedonistic crowd. But if this day belongs to Love -- as I know it does, because there is truly nothing else -- then I want to see with the eyes of Love, past the leathers and loudness, into the core of Being in which we all share this Love. And so I will see my way to closing the door on irritation and opening another one to harmonious music and laughter, looking deeper into this than possible with the material senses. I'm sure you have many opportunities to do the same!
Mary Baker Eddy quote:
“We must look deep into realism instead of accepting only the outward sense of things.”
