From A Course in Miracles (1975)
There is no order of difficulty in miracles. One is not "harder" or "bigger" than another. They are all the same. All expressions of love are maximal. (T-1.I.1:1)
Miracles transcend the body. They are sudden shifts into invisibility, away from the bodily level. That is why they heal (T-1.I.17:1)
Lately, miracles look like the sporadic immersions of intuition, or the alchemy of pain becoming wisdom.
For a long time I worried about how to make something original. Now I marvel at how insane it is to think that art could arise from the need to be original.
I worry about how to be honest. I wonder what the cost will be and why I care when the alternative is to fold.
If correction is simply a question of awareness, I wonder why the process feels like a slow and excruciating burning. At times it is an unexpectedly welcome warmth, like coming inside after being out in the snow. Sometimes it is both at once.
