The gray sky eliminates the shadows and the ground is covered in snow. The air is cold and the world seems black and white. Against this quiet and seemingly colorless backdrop I recognize God expressing Itself as this day. Above the clouds the sun shines and the blue sky turns to azure as it approaches the heavens. This is constant no matter what goes on beneath so I am reminded that God is always present in splendor and illumination.

God is All that I see and experience. God is present in everything and the reason for this moment, and this moment….God is infinitely Good and nothing shows up contrary to God because It is the One Thing. Everything exists within the context of this Loving Presence seeking to express Itself as The Thing Itself. God is Good and Goodness, Breath and the Breathless and all of conspiring towards It’s own self discovery.

Because I see this day unfolding before me and I witness the beauty and splendor of now, I know that I Am connected to It, I Am a part of It and there is nothing of me that is not It expressing. I Am One with It.

And so it is that my Life is God expressing as me. I am present and aware of God’s magnificence around me. I fall gracefully into the knowing that nothing is wrong and everything is right. It is all here for my enjoyment. As I experience my Life I experience God as me. I breath and I am breathless and the one thing that resonates consistently through me is the Goodness and Loving presence of God. I Am infinitely good and nothing operates contrary to my highest self expressing. The planet supports me and I am connected to it because my body is made up of it. My physicality is but one part of the infinity of me and I honor all of it.

I am grateful for this day including the cold and the gray for I know that above me the sun is bright and sky is blue. Thank you Mother Earth for your resourcefulness, Thank you Life for your endless expression through me, as me. Thank you Goodness, Thank you Love.

With an abundant heart and knowing all is perfectly well, I release my word into the Law knowing I am received and it is done.

And so it is.
