Physical injury can often present a gruesome picture to the senses, but how grateful we can be that no type of injury is beyond the power of Principle, Truth, to restore our bodies to complete health.

Last year I severed the end of a finger when I carelessly got it too close to the blade of a lawn mower that was in operation. My work and studies are in music, particularly piano playing, so this accident might have seemed disastrous. But I was able to keep this much in mind—that the expression of divine intelligence, in musical ways or otherwise, is in no way dependent upon one or any of my fingers. I knew that the progress of my piano students, as well as my own well-being, could not be compromised by any material state. I saw the importance of identifying myself and others as divine ideas of God, spiritual and perfect.
