Weather Does What Weather Does.

I thought of this because you could mount a production here called Very Cool for May.  We’re still sleeping in flannel, under quilts.  It’s unseasonably cool.

Weather does what weather does.  Like many things, we can’t control it.  (The late Dr. Leonard Read of the Foundation for Economic Education, whose essay “I, Pencil” is a classic on the immense cooperation it takes to do a simple thing like make a pencil, once said, “I have learned never to complain about the weather.  It’s my way of being thankful that god, and not the government, controls it.”)  But what we can control is what we do about it, how we approach it.

The same is true  of the election campaign.  Other than our single vote, we have little control.  but we can choose how to react: get behind the candidates, find other ones, sit it out, or whatever.  (I’ve pretty well decided which of these I’m doing.)

We understand that we use the power to shape how our world looks.  And so we treat, knowing that our mystical and mental worlds intersect in this very powerful use of them.

There is only One Life, One Power, One Intelligence.  That Life is perfect, whole, complete.  It is  a life of peace, prosperity, health, abundance, and joy.  And it is my life right now.

I feel, believe, and know the joy that this life is.  Even as the thunder rolls, I know that all is clear.

Right now, my life is filled with  peace, prosperity, health, abundance, and joy.  It is not dependent on weather, on elections, or on any other factor.  I simply take what is and know it as the expression of peace, prosperity, health, abundance, and joy as and through my life right now.  I live in this space, knowing intimately that it is God’s space.

I am thankful for all these thigns and for teh knowing that I am experiencing.

And SO it IS!
