Be not afraid, Love is with you and …

Wide enough

God lighted art is like the


Art of a rainbow—hinting at


The eternal beauty of all good,


All that really is in wonderful grandeur,


All effortlessly unfolds, is


Individual, expansive, reflecting the infinite,


All being


Expressing every thought in full obedience


To the action of the ever-present Christ


The omni-good of constant unbound grace


Cast in colors and light on every shore


A rainbow wide from black to white.

--Vincent Hogrefe—

To understand God strengthens hope, enthrones faith in Truth, and verifies Jesus’ words: “Lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.”

-–Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, p. 446--

…. he who seizes the rainbow to lay it on

a cloth in the likeness of a man, is more than he who makes the sandals for our feet.

--Gibran

When I find that every heart, every speck of the vast deep blue sky and its sparkling stars, the mountains, the sea, the rushing brook, the nightingale’s song, the flight of the snow geese, every cherry-tree blossom, and the spread of wild-growing bluebells in sunlit forests are all joined together with one thread of inseparability, one thread of Soul, then you and I shall know that all are but the mirrored images of Love, reflecting its own wide, wide beautiful world. 

And O how I love it!  --Eva-Maria—

An excerpt from Vincent Hogrefe’s interview with Sue Pomeroy, the founder, director, and producer of Good Company Theatre Productions based in Brighton, England.

Vincent: It illustrates how prayer can overcome obstacles of any kind. That prompts me to ask if spiritual love, as a basis of artistic expression, a force for progress, can help theater contribute to the healing of social, cultural, and racial barriers.

Sue: Yes.  [And] Prayer is a crucial part of preparation for everything I do. As an artist, one consistently has to deny the belief of limitation, because fear of lack keeps popping up all over the place. As we refuse to bow down to the limited human picture and accept completely the unlimited, perfect order of God, we are able to rise above limitation and struggle. ….

Mortals are egotists. They believe themselves to be independent workers, personal authors, and even privileged originators of something which Deity would not or could not create. The creations of mortal mind are material. Immortal spiritual man alone represents

the truth of creation.

…he [Christ Jesus] said unto them, It is I, be not afraid. --The Bible, John 6:20—

Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:

And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die.

Believest thou this?  --The Bible, John 11:25, 16--

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sweet are the uses of adversity;

Which, like the toad, ugly and venomous,

Wears yet a precious jewel in his head,

And this our life, exempt from public hount,

Finds tongues in trees, books in the running brook,

Sermons in stones, and good in everything.

I would not change it.

--As You Like It, Act II Scene I, Shakespeare—

In the solitude of my being my devotion to LOVE is bursting forth … and O how I like it … it is so comforting to listen to Love, and so strengthening to feel it… as well as to embrace therein all those I’m thinking of.  --Eva-Maria

How great Thou art, and how little I am -- when I think of it, it reminds me of a tiny raindrop compared to a wide, wide ocean.

In quality the raindrop is the same as the ocean, and as it merges with the ocean the raindrop becomes part of the ocean, still the same in quality, and thus inseparable from the ocean. And so am I with Thee –

Inseparable from Thee, dear beloved God! ...

Inseparable from GOD, which for me is supreme GOOD: LOVE, TRUTH, LIFE, SOUL, SPIRIT, PRINCIPLE, divine, infinite MIND, and

they refer to one absolute God.

--Eva-Maria--

I live near an ocean where along the coastline you’ll find those lonesome standing lighthouses; it made me think, and here I’m speaking metaphorically: I am as a “lighthouse” for all of those who are tossed and afraid of being shipwrecked on the ocean of life.

Our own struggle with regrets, and even wishes, seem to disappear in the feeling

of empathy.

 DAVID WAS A HEBREW KING WHO WAS SKILLED AT PLAYING THE LIAR. HE FOUGHT THE FINKELSTEINS, A RACE OF PEOPLE WHO LIVED IN BIBLICAL TIMES.

--A child’s misspelling, and a gift of a smile for us, LOL—

I like to switch on a light in the thought

of those whose smiles are hidden, to see their smiles and know sadness will be the loser. The highest form of influence is love!  It is that gentle undercurrent in all we say, and in all it says to us.

--Eva-Maria--

I am not the body

Beloved God, I know that I am not the body, not the blood, not the energy, not the thoughts, not the mind [mortal], not the ego, not the astral self.  I am the immortal soul that illumines them all, remaining unchangeable in spite of their changes.

--Paramahansa Yogananda—

If ye know these things, 

happy are ye if ye do them.

--The Bible, John 13:17--

Shakespeare, through the voice of Hamlet, says:

Give thy thought no tongue,

Nor unproportion’d thought his act. 

If ye abide in me, and my words abide

in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it

shall be done unto you.

--The Bible, John 15:7—

THE FIRST COMMANDMENTS WAS WHEN

EVE  TOLD ADAM TO EAT THE APPLE.

--from the lips of a child … (smile)

Divine love is the force behind all I do, and

with the deepest attention to this truth – I do all, may it be great or small.

--Eva-Maria

And ye shall know the truth,

and the truth shall make you free. 

–The Bible—John 8:32—

The recuperative action of the system, when mentally sustained by Truth, goes on naturally.

(Expose sin without believing in it)

--Science and Health, p. 447—

Good must dominate

in thought and feeling!
