Morning Prayer 12/100. Across the bridge
Across the bridge
We walked across the bridge, the Golden Gate Bridge, yesterday. Both directions.
And we walked into beauty, into grace, into joy in both directions. It was never a matter of “to and from”. It was rather experiencing movement to one excitement, then turning around (after a brief rest!) and experiencing movement to another excitement.
Virtually every element of our walk was uplifting. The sky was a brilliant blue. The wind was bracing. The variety of boats, windsurfers, and fisherpeople on the bay beneath us grabbed attention. The other walkers were entertaining. Even the threat of bicyclists from both directions was thrilling.
Today’s lesson from A Course in Miracles reviews the lesson stating: I will be still an instant, then go home. The intention being to remind us that our true home is not this beautiful earth or our awe-inspiring experiences as Human Beings. Our true home is One with Spirit, not a place but an existence.
I love that as I love all that ACIM teaches. And I’m glad to say that walking the Golden Gate Bridge yesterday allowed me clarity in knowing I/we can delight in the here-and-now and be very much at home with Spirit.
Maybe it was being suspended above the expanse of the San Francisco Bay, being hand-in-hand with Cindy, being so conscious of the blessings of this life. Whatever, I am joyful knowing “Home” is not a separate place which I can enjoy only by leaving this state of human being.
A good lesson from the Golden Gate Bridge.
Sweet Spirit,
thank you for allowing the wonderful insight
that we can live fully and joyously now.
We can experience and express
the wonders of life in our present tense
and with our present senses.
And as we know the human joys, we give thanks
that surrounding and filling and supporting them
is the spiritual Truth that is our Being.
We heart-know it is that Truth that frees us
to create our identity in the here and now,
frees us to discover and realize our Being
as your child.
Thank you, God.
Amen.
Love and blessing,
