PREFACE

This book was to have been a typical length.  But after 125 handwritten pages (to the page exactly) I seemed to have no need to say more.  I struggled, but nothing more came.  So here it is, a smallish book, not unlike those small books to which I have turned over the years for sustenance and meditation.

My lodestone is A Course in Miracles, the marvelous book scribed by Helen Schucman with the assistance of William Thetford in forming the publishable word.  The author?  Helen believed that it was Jesus himself, though she resisted some of his ideas mightily and never found in the Course the peace to which she had helped lead so many others.

I am one of those led to peace by Helen and her scribed words.  And just as this is a peace unlike anything my past would have predicted, so too do I hope that my rendering of the Course’s insight will help another.  Take nothing unto yourself that does not “fit.”  Interact with these pages and then turn to the Course itself for a broader view.  And may the happy dreams the Holy Spirit brings go with you.
