Healing delayed? Start kedging!

Perfection itself includes progress. This fact totally contradicts the traditional philosophical assumption that perfection is static. Mrs. Eddy writes, "Infinite progression is concrete being, which finite mortals see and comprehend only as abstract glory." Miscellaneous Writings, p. 82;

We can, indeed must, demonstrate the truth that perfection is not static, but dynamic, including "infinite progression." An un-progressive state is error. Understanding dynamic perfection, we nullify beliefs of stagnation, inactivity, dullness, and apathy. Then real progress is made evident in our lives.

But what if we have tried to work out a problem for some time and are disappointed with the results? Does this take the wind out of our sails? If we feel our healing is "dead in the water," perhaps we can learn a lesson from the kedging practiced by sailors of the tall ships whose only driving power was the wind.
