Like many people, I’m tracking the hurricanes and stops that seem to be pummeling up and down the east coast of North America.  These storms make an already intense time WAY more intense.

Things have been very intense for the past year, on many levels, and it seems to be intensifying.  This is why it’s so important for us to keep Peace in our minds and hold the high watch, a divine vision of Peace and Harmony.

I’m holding the high watch for loved ones in Florida as hurricane Irma is getting closer.

I have friends there and my father and step mom are there, riding the storm out.  

It’s a difficult situation.  Many Florida residents, are elderly.  My dad is 85 now, and he used to live in Venice Florida, which is where Kathy Curry, a beloved member of our community lives.  That whole area has suffered the most horrendous destruction.  Fortunately she and her loved ones are safe.  They evacuated and stayed with friends.

I can understand that for folks at my Dad’s age, setting off in a long arduous caravan of cars for hundreds of miles and waiting in gas lines for hours etc., would be more taxing than staying and going through the storm.  It’s not an easy situation when they don’t wish to evacuate.  

For many years I’ve trained myself not to worry.  Worry is the negative use of my imagination.  Ernest Holmes taught me that.  My mind is the mind of God and if I hold a worried, fearful and negative thought in my mind, I’m giving it my power and I don’t wish to do that anymore.  I choose to hold the high watch of loving thoughts.  And this is where I find my Peace.

I mentally stand on higher ground and hold my attention on the ideal.  I hold in my mind the knowing that all is well.

I know that too that those who’re affected by these multiple disasters, all over the world, are blessed by their experiences.  I hold firmly in my mind that all are blessed.

I may not understand how everything works together for the good of all, many times it seems impossible to understand from our point of view, unable to see through all of time and space.

I do know divine grace is at work in all moments.

I absolutely know that the angels guide and protect us all of the time and when we ask for assistance we receive it, although it may not be in the way we think is best.  

I have faith that we are profoundly loved by all of life, even by a hurricane, a flood, a fire or an earthquake.

I open my mind to see beyond time and space and to see the blessings in each moment.

I once was very blessed, for a precious few minutes, to have the great gift of seeing beyond time and space into the eternal.  In those minutes I knew completely and most assuredly that everything is perfect, and everything is beautiful and all is Love, all is loved.  It was so clear to me and so real to me it changed me.  It only lasted for a few minutes, but it was crystal clear.

We’re training our minds only to choose the loving thoughts and to let all worry go.  We’re doing it.  It’s happening now.

We bless all beings on this sweet earth and know that all are loved equally and fully by our Creator.  Life loves us.  We keep our attention on that which we desire to know and to see and we let all worry fade into the nothingness from which it arose.

We hold the high watch. We pray for those who appear to be in harm’s way to be protected and blessed.  We pray for those who are suffering to be at Peace now.   We hold the perfect vision of Love in our hearts and in our minds.  We know that all are blessed, always.
