No threat, mess, stress, fuss; no matter the appearance there just is no interference; just God, good, Being all-harmonious, just Being—Love supreme, loving us; just Being—Mind, with Truth divine defining us; just Being—Life, Spirit, Soul—expressing us; Principle of being, being all there really is to us: Good—proved power, law, presence; One—one All-in-all, one consciousness holding us at-one within its allness; there just is none else. —Suzanne Goewert.
