The imposing magnificence of a mountain range close to the writer's home evokes from her a daily prayer of gratitude for the privilege of living in the shadow of these peaks, particularly when she remembers the words of Mary Baker Eddy in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" (p. 511), "Spiritually interpreted, rocks and mountains stand for solid and grand ideas."
To view a mountain from below, the beholder must lift his eyes. Spiritually to discern "solid and grand ideas," one must lift his consciousness to the apprehension of creation as related in the first chapter of Genesis, in which "God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good."
It is precisely through this lifting of thought Spiritward that healing in Christian Science is accomplished. Thought no longer weighed down with doubts and fears soars to new and exalted heights.
