The peace of God is shining in you now, and from your heart extends around the world. It pauses to caress each living thing, and leaves a blessing with it that remains forever and forever. What it gives must be eternal. It removes all thoughts of the ephemeral and valueless. It brings renewal to all tired hearts, and lights all vision as it passes by. All of its gifts are given everyone, and everyone unites in giving thanks to you who give, and you who have received. (A Course in Miracles, W-pI.188.3)
Within us is an eternal refuge which we can turn to for relief from the chaos of the world. God gave us His peace and it remains with us forever. The world of form, the dream of separation, can seem to cover it up but His peace still remains in our hearts. We need only redirect our attention from the figures in the dream to the peace of God within.
When we turn to the peace of God within and accept the gift of peace, we look on the world anew. The dancing shadows that seem to battle in the world are looked past and we are able to see the changeless Love beyond the conflict.
Today we practice mindfulness to be aware of disturbances to our peace. We take these disturbances to the peace within where the Light of God shines through the false images. It shows us our safety and answers the call for Love with Love.
With this practice today will be a day of happiness and peace. It will be a day of the Love in us joining with the Love in all our brothers. And it will be a blessed day indeed.
