The absolute first priority

What an important reminder (thank you, Ramesha).

Over and over again I fall into the trap of believing the Ego on this one. Of course, it never ever works.

Which brought to mind this A Course in Miracles quote card, which I’ve had for years and years and wrote about in a blog post from 2020:

The peace of God is my one goal
The aim of all my living here,
The end I seek,
My purpose and my function and my life.

No more playing small

The music team had an inspiring meeting with three of our spiritual mentors this afternoon. I’m always uplifted in their presence, but it’s especially powerful when they’re giving us guidance, encouragement, and suggestions for our work with the music ministry.

Yep, the usual doubts: can I do it? will it be enough? — blah, blah, blah.

So, I remembered this wonderful poem by Marianne Williamson (often incorrectly attributed to Nelson Mandela) and decided it was time to read it again (and again and again…).
