Seeing creation’s gentleness
“We are not holding our breaths waiting for the bad to become good somehow. We are making living pathways for everything to return to Love.”—Ameeta Kaul
Happy Monday, friends! I’m sitting in the backyard, communing with my tree besties, celebrating the fact that I just turned in my manuscript to the amazing book designer, Violet Lemay.
Not only is she a NY Times bestselling children’s book author (her latest, “A Maker of Dresses” was released this week on the heels of NY Fashion week), but she taught illustration at Savannah College of Art and Design. Am I a lucky gal or what?
I’ve dubbed this new book, “a picture book for grownups” because it is meant to show, not tell the story of two very different fields of intelligence.
We humans have access to both.
The field we’re most familiar with is generated within our minds. It has become human’s predominant means for accessing guidance and direction. Unfortunately, it’s extremely limited and, because its chief reason to exist is to keep us safe, it makes a huge racket and has become the P.T. Barnum of “Woe is me.” Let’s just say this field of intelligence has gotten way out of whack!
The other field of intelligence, which is inherent and indestructible, has a much broader viewpoint. It offers a kinder, softer, easier way of approaching life. Today’s Course in Miracles lesson called it “the celestial gentleness with which creation shines.”
Oh and P.S., it contains no fear.
Every moment we spend in one field or the other is an investment in a path that will continue to draw from us and define us.
I’m finding myself relying more and more on the broader, vaster field of intelligence. It’s a heck of a lot more fun, a hundred times less stressful and, I believe, it’s creating a living pathway for everything to return to Love.
