I bought a picture years ago from a local artist. On a dark blue background was a sketch of a woman’s head facing to the sky. Her mouth was open and sparkling stars were pouring outward and upward. I was in denial back then, I didn’t realize I had lost my voice. I quickly decided that the picture was for a friend and gave it away.
I was married for 11 years. During that time I played the role of the “good wife.” To me, the “good wife” kept quiet in order to keep the peace. She compromised her integrity out of devotion to her spouse. She suffered silently, so desperate to be “good.”

From Out Here looking in
it’s a whole different view
where the messiness of life
can be understood anew.
All that angst, all that fretting
all that focusing on getting,
are the keys to awakening,
you see.

An excerpt from the journal I keep on my study of the Workbook Lessons
I am not going to list all the ways in which I try defend myself. Jesus has done that and I am fully aware of my own favorite methods. These are the words I want to contemplate this morning.
“Only the Love of God will protect you in all circumstances. It will lift you out of every trial, and raise you high above all the perceived dangers of this world into a climate of perfect peace and safety. It will transport you into a state of mind that nothing can threaten, nothing can disturb, and where nothing can intrude upon the eternal calm of the Son of God.”

A couple of years ago, I began attending a Wednesday evening ACIM study group that a friend of mine had told me about which was being held in the home of a local couple. I had recently decided to begin studying the Course again, so I decided to give this group a try. For me, studying the Course with a group makes it much easier to understand and apply to my life.
Dennis and his wife were both elementary school teachers and long time students of the Course. They had been studying it as a couple for many, many years. Dennis had retired but his wife was still teaching. One of the first things I noticed when I arrived at their home was a big yard sign out in front that read: “A Course in Miracles” and it had two meeting times on it. There was a meeting Wednesdays at noon and then again at 6 p.m.! Dennis also started a Saturday morning group at the local library and a Tuesday morning group at a nearby Starbucks!

It is sometimes difficult
to discern path large or small
Sometimes I cannot see the path at all
I know that I’ve been down this
path before to revisit and savor
my experiences once more

Throughout Linda’s life, she experienced pain that she believed was physical. Last June after getting a hip replacement for a broken hip, she has experienced continual pain in her hip, lower back and left shoulder. The night after beginning to work with ACIM Lesson 46, the pain became so bad, she could barely walk and she became despondent. She went to bed crying out to Holy Spirit: “Holy Spirit, help me.”
Lesson 46 starts with: “God does not forgive because He never condemned. (1) And there must be condemnation before forgiveness is necessary. (2) Those who forgive are thus releasing themselves from illusions, while those who withhold forgiveness are binding themselves to them.” (4)
