I can just type nonsense about my new coffee table.   It is standing in my living room as a constant reminder to let go my rational mind as a listen to Spirit.  I had just returned from a day of thrift-store shopping, looking for a coffee table among other things.  I got myself quiet, sat still for 15 minutes, then read a bit in a book by Florence Scovell Shinn about the power of mind.  She said when listening to Intuition, give up rationality.  Just follow the soft leads as they come.  I laughed, got up, got my car keys and went to my neighborhood thrift store called “Ditto.”

There I saw this old tool box, dark wood as I wanted, for $28.  Of course I bought it and love it.  I like using it as a cradle for books.  Its top slots hold wine glasses perfectly.

I think the main lesson it teaches me is that Spirit is on my side.  My own sweet will is Heaven’s will…..Here is a quote from William Butler Yeats, Irish poet who died (I think) in 1939, the year I was born.  He says,

“Considering this, all hatred driven hence,

the mind recovers radical innocence

and learns at last that is is self-delighting,

Self-appeasing, self-affrighting,

And that it’s own sweet will is Heaven’s will.”
