As we enter summer it is that time to throw open the windows, open our hearts to the longer cycles of the sun AMP EXPERIENCE Happiness Tea Melanie Lutzand enter that deliciously simple time when the soul blows wide open.

Take today and the gentle joy of this moment to let the past fall away in the wash of the summer sun.

ACIM has a great line that feels right… “you can have a grievance or a miracle, you can not have both.”  This speaks directly to the truth, you can hold one thought.  Make it be loving and that will lead you through the illusions that create extended suffering beyond the moment of incident.

“If Jesus had yelled from the cross, ‘I hate all you guys,’ it would have been a completely different story. There would have been no resurrection. What created the space for his triumph was his defenselessness, his holding to love despite what others were doing to him. The body can be destroyed, but truth cannot be. Truth will always reassert itself, given a symbolic three days. Three days represents the time it takes between the crucifixion and the resurrection, between an open-hearted response to hurt and the experience of rebirth that will always follow.”
