A DEADLINE LOOMED

Diane Wexler Hayden

I used to edit a corporate newsletter. When the company chairman died, I had to write a piece about him and the contributions he'd made to the organization.

Unfortunately, my only contact with this man had been a few elevator rides during which we'd exchanged pleasantries and little else. So it seemed like an impossible job to write anything meaningful about him—let alone something that would capture the essence of the individual and his contributions.

I knew, however, that the words I needed to write wouldn't come from me. They'd come from God, from the intelligent Mind, which I expressed. I'd seen time and again that being open to the ideas that Mind is constantly giving out, brings the ideas needed. So once again I prayed to see that there was only one Mind and that this Mind was telling me what I needed to know. I felt confident that all I needed to do was to listen for ideas.
