It's been said that almost every grade school girl at some period dreams of owning a horse, and almost every teenage boy involved in athletics dreams of competing in the Olympics and/or playing in the majors—baseball, soccer, etc. But only a small percent of girls and boys realize their dreams. In a similar way, it's probably true that almost every individual who has had a healing in Christian Science feels a desire to heal others, while only a small percent realizes those dreams to the degree they would like.
This raises a few questions: Why does a simple healing in Christian Science inspire a desire to heal others? Why do so few see it fulfilled? How can the desire be fulfilled?
As I look out my study window this very moment, across the street a bank of forsythia is in full bloom. It's an overcast day, but even in this lessened light the yellow blossoms radiate and vibrate like a huge bonfire.
