Just over two years ago, I woke early one morning, and as I tried to get out of bed my legs would not support me. I felt as if I were in one of those nightmares where you're trying to run but your legs just won't move.

In Science and Health Mrs. Eddy says (p. 264), "We must look where we would walk, and we must act as possessing all power from Him in whom we have our being." And that is what I endeavored to do as I roused myself and struggled to my feet. With difficulty I finished my morning toilet, and began walking from the bathroom toward the place where I intended to sit down and read the Bible Lesson from the Christian Science Quarterly. But I didn't make it. My legs failed me, and the arm with which I tried to save myself from falling was useless. I fell, striking my head on the floor.

Immediately I sat up and began to repeat "the scientific statement of being" out loud. It begins (Science and Health, p. 468): "There is no life, truth, intelligence, nor substance in matter. All is infinite Mind and its infinite manifestation, for God is All-in-all." Because I had little control of my tongue, the words were garbled, but I persisted to the end of the statement.
