When I was four years old I had an epiphany: Life’s essence is spiritual, big, good –  not limited. Life is not contained in things or bodies: It is everywhere. I was four and I sensed in my childlike way that everything is a miracle and that everyone is important. I remember that sacred moment in my grandparents’ house vividly as if it were yesterday – and it probably was.

Over time discovering the Bible along with Science and Health by Mary Baker Eddy, spending time with listening, wondering, pondering, reading and writing, put me on a spiritual path, and I continue to learn and grow every day. I am seeking and finding, trying to love deeper and serve better every day. I am continuing to build a dictionary of spiritual terms for my practice and gathering experience in the art of healing. 

There is a definition of the word “good” that is foundational to my practice. It is from the book Science and Health by Mary Baker Eddy.

Good. God; Spirit; omnipotence; omniscience; omnipresence; omni-action. (p. 587:19)

Building a practice on this profound truth is rewarding and has opened up paths for myself and for others. I have noticed that we find a footing in life when we open up and sincerely desire to share what we have with others.

Spiritual intuition tells me that the connectedness of being is continuous and  I observe that when living for all mankind and working for humanity, we discover a “joy which finds one’s own in another’s good” (Mary Baker Eddy).
