Two angels sat upon a cloudand gazed down upon the earth.They longed to leave a gift of light,a greatest joy of endless worth. Upon the mountain’s highest peak,“we’ll hide it far above.Only the brave who dare to climbshall find its golden glow.” The other raised her halo’s gleam:“No peak can chain their will.They’ll climb the…

from ACIM Lesson 128 The world you see holds nothing that you need to offer you; nothing that you can use in any way, nor anything at all that serves to give you joy. Believe this thought, and you are saved from years of misery, from countless disappointments, and from hopes that turn to bitter…

Don’t let your pain become your story,A passing storm, not life’s inventory.What cuts today will heal tomorrow,There’s no need to shape your life in sorrow. Struggles are steps along the way,Not the place where you have to stay.If you define yourself by wounds endured,You make the fleeting feel secured. A moment’s hurt, a fleeting sting,Should…

To forgive yourself, begin with Truth,Accept the past, embrace the proof.Acknowledge wrongs, and own your part,But do not let shame consume your heart. Reflect on all the weight and pain,On others’ hearts, the lasting stain.Then let your guilt dissolve, transform—To lessons learned through every storm. Your sins are not your given name,You are not bound…

True strength, I’ve learned, is in quiet and still,A patient heart, a tempered will.It doesn’t rush or seek to prove,It moves with calmness, a steady groove.Be patient with all, but most with yourself,Don’t hurry through life or measure by wealth.Do all things gently, let calmness abide,Hold onto your peace when storms rage outside.For nothing is…

Ideas don’t leave their source, they dwell within,The anger, the fear, the shame, the sin.They don’t shoot out to a boss or a friend,They circle back, on you they depend.You judge the driver, you feel the sting,The judgment’s yours—it’s not out there, it’s within.You curse your bank account, feel insecure,But that insecurity only finds your…

Illusions rise and whisper loud,Yet they are shadows, not the ground.For truth stands still, forever clear—In truth, there is nothing to fear. Repeat it often, within, soft and plain,Like sunlight breaking after rain.With open eyes, in any place,Or closed in stillness, steeped in grace. When peace is shaken, call it near:“There is nothing, nothing to…

Today begins a quiet release,A doorway opening into peace.This thought extends both out and in,Where sight of world and thought begin. At morning’s rise and evening’s rest,Give minutes three to stillness blessed.Look slowly round, repeat, be free,Then close your eyes—look inwardly. For what is seen outside will showThe stream of thoughts that ebb and flow.Let…

From A Course in Miracles Lesson 122 What could you want forgiveness cannot give? Do you want peace? Forgiveness offers it. Do you want happiness, a quiet mind, a certainty of purpose, and a sense of worth and beauty that transcends the world? Do you want care and safety, and the warmth of sure protection…

Before each earthly step, before you take,Three questions guide the path you make.For life’s decisions, large or small,These truths will serve to help you all. First, ask yourself, “Is it legal?” A rule-bound world keeps life more equal.If it is morally right, then go ahead;If not, let caution guide you instead. Next, wonder this: “Is it harmful?”…
