Love the title Sean 'remembering our innocence'. To experience the joy/awe of being without the accompanying expectation of what should or should not be arising ☘️💚🙏
I was never a big reader of the Bible, but I would have to say Psalms is my favorite part. I love how you tied this beautiful passage to the Course messages today, thank you as always ❤️
Underneath my exterior appearance, how I put myself across to other people, there is often an underlying sense of unease, a tremor of anxiety, a ripple of something mildly fearful. That sensation often raises itself to a higher volume when I have something that is outside of my normal routine. Sometimes it's just a companion that follows me where I go, sometimes, certainly in the past, it has intruded itself into my actions and guided me towards a perceived safety. It's a habit I'm learning to unlearn.
Today I'm driving to Oxford to meet my son and from there we're taking the Bus to Shepherd's Bush, in London to see a gig this evening. The thought of this has instinctively raised this habitual warning sign, to a just perceptible feeling of distress. I'm just on edge.
If, for a moment, I turn away from this intrusive underlying thought, there's a space of peace and silence, comfort and safety. Somehow these intrusive thoughts recede in volume and a sense of calm replaces. For me, where I am now, this is all I need to do (all I can do and need do).
And then, I'm reminded how great it is to spend some time with my son and have a chance to connect with him.
If today's activities involved surgery or a Funeral of a loved one, or a visit from the Tax Man, I suspect my ability to turn away from these feelings of dis-ease might be more of a challenge, but that's OK. I acknowledge that. I see an order of difficulty, but if I just turn towards this sense of peace....
Sean, this paragraph says it all for me" ...it is a quality of attention, a way of being present to what is present to us. It reflects our desire to know God intimately and fully and to accept nothing less. When knowledge of God is our sole objective, then the externals - be they a vexing co-worker or a breathtaking dusk - become increasingly irrelevant. We begin to understand the logic of nothing real can be threatened, nothing unreal exists." Thank you for sharing, your words resonate deeply and touch my heart....♥️
I borrowed some of your words as a springboard in my journal. Hope you don’t mind. Giving you the credit here for that which no one will ever likely see. Another reason for my thanks.☺️

This was a very beautiful post Sean, thank you. xxx
"In stillness we remember this, in stillness we accept this" Remember the I in me is You.
Listen with the invisible ear for the inaudible world, the kingdom of Heaven in earth is here, now. (Paraphrased from Joel Goldsmith).
We are given the reality we ask for. Thanks for the reminder to walk and listen each day with the Holy Spirit.
