Good morning Sean, upon reading your article the question arose for me,“do you know how to BE the light?”.

As I awoke this morning my mind was filled with negative thinking. The negativity was about the tiniest thing in my world to the largest of world problems, it seemed to be all the same. The sameness was the negative thinking of how the “me” will be affected. Not concern for how others, only “ me”, and if the concern is for others it is in relation to me.

This need to find safety for the “me” is a bottomless pit. It is only in moments of gratefulness that I find relief, joy, and what feels like real love.

Thank you for remaining me that “holiness” is always here, it is our birthright, it is the Light.

I just pulled out ACIM lesson 195 “Love is the way I walk in Gratitude”, it will be my companion today.

Thank you as always for sharing your gift and shining Light. 🙏

Thank you, Sean. This is the perfect balm to cure my habit of reading the news and dividing everyone into good and bad guys. But the bad guys are so obvious! And they're in control! My own inner teacher tells me that the news is propaganda for the ego, at least in the way that I perceive it. I look to it to reinforce my judgment against my brothers and to unconsciously wash my hands of the whole thing. It leaves me anything but grateful. I'm reminded of a song by Elvis Costello, that I used to play on repeat, with the lyric "...diving for dear life, when we could be diving for pearls." I can waste hours doom scrolling, disguised as the virtue of being informed, when I could be diving for pearls.

You do bring out the poet in me, Sean. Amazing!
