No scary destination

Tamie Kanata

A few months ago, I was driving home from work through Friday evening traffic when I started feeling very ill. Driving became a struggle as my body and head were aching. The temperature had dropped significantly that day, and I thought of winter days ahead. I had also been feeling “defined” by some things that had been regularly occupying my thoughts. These things felt like material “frames” that were claiming to mold my being.

When I finally got home, I hit the bed and lay down, crying out. I called a Christian Science practitioner for prayerful treatment. After talking with her, I reached out to God for comfort and received a gentle feeling as a reply. It said: “You just stay with Me. In My arms. Right here. Right now. Don’t worry.”

I saw myself fully protected in God’s arms, as His spiritual image. Then, suddenly, the image of the “Mona Lisa,” the work of Leonardo Da Vinci, came to me. Then the thought came: “That piece of art is in a frame. But you are not.” At that point, I also remembered a couple of major revelations that had been coming to me in recent weeks. One of them was a much clearer awareness that divine Love, which governs this infinite universe, is fully conscious and aware of me and everyone, right here, right now. And, as Love’s children, we are also conscious of Love being conscious of us. It’s the tender, reciprocal gaze of Love’s parent-child relationship.
