    Unless the past is over in my mind, the real world must escape my sight.
    For I am really looking nowhere; seeing but what is not there.
    How can I then perceive the world forgiveness offers? This the past was made to hide, for this the world that can be looked on only now.
    It has no past.
    For what can be forgiven but the past, and if it is forgiven it is gone.

    Unless I look upon what is not there, my present happiness is all I see.
    Eyes that begin to open see at last. And I would have Christ’s vision come to me this very day.
    What I perceive without God’s Own Correction for the sight I made is frightening and painful to behold.
    Yet I would not allow my mind to be deceived by the belief the dream I made is real an instant longer.
    This the day I seek my present happiness, and look on nothing else except the thing I seek.

    Christ’s vision looks through me today.

    What loveliness we look upon today! What holiness we see surrounding us! And it is given us to recognize it is a holiness in which we share; it is the Holiness of God Himself.

    All fear is past, because its source is gone, and all its thoughts gone with it.
    Love remains the only present state, whose Source is here forever and forever.
    Can the world seem bright and clear and safe and welcoming, with all my past mistakes oppressing it, and showing me distorted forms of fear?
    Yet in the present love is obvious, and its effects apparent.
    All the world shines in reflection of its holy light, and I perceive a world forgiven at last.

    Watch with me, angels, watch with me today.
    Let all God’s holy Thoughts surround me, and be still with me while Heaven’s Son is born.
    Let earthly sounds be quiet, and the sights to which I am accustomed disappear.
