"I am not one who was born in the custody of wisdom. I am one who is fond of olden times and intense in quest of the sacred knowing of the ancients." Gustave Courbet

Thankfully.


There is a silence into which the world cannot intrude. 
There is an ancient peace you carry in your heart and have not lost. 
Lay down your arms and come without defense into the quiet place 
where Heaven's peace holds all things still at last.
 
Lay down all thoughts of danger and of fear.

As you close your eyes, sink into the stillness.
Let these periods of rest and respite reassure your mind
that all its frantic fantasies were but dreams 
of fever that has passed away. 
 
Let it be still and thankfully accept its healing.

Helen Schucman, from A Course in Miracles
