Might as well accept the truth about yourself

“There is an ever present goodness threading through the natural world, evident in every act of kindness and love made visible.”—Carrie Newcomer  

On the plane ride home from Spain, I fell in love with a pair of four-year-old twin girls, wearing matching flowered dresses.

We first met in the Madrid airport where they had ingeniously created their own playground behind the airport terminal seats.

I couldn’t help but watch as they skipped, giggled and chased each other, exuding a natural sense of joy.

And I began to wonder. If that’s how little humans come into this world, wouldn’t it make sense that a 40-year-old or a 60-year-old, with considerably more years to enjoy their life, would be even more bubbly and gleeful? With normal development, seems they’d be ecstatic by now.

Today’s Course in Miracles lesson says that’s not just theoretical. If we can accept the truth about ourselves and allow our natural light to shine, we, too, can experience a natural sense of joy.

In fact, we already have it. It’s just temporarily covered up by all our crazy thoughts and beliefs. Over the course of our lives, we gather up a lot of ideas about who we are, what we’re capable of, what is possible.

But everything we have picked up and put into our belief basket is just a story that hides our inner four-year-olds, secretly grinning with love.     

Have the best weekend of your lives, my loves. I adore you and am just so grateful for each and every one of you who takes the time to read my crazy musings.
