Of Spirit and Horse Farts



Daily now my understanding grows.  It is as this quote from A COURSE IN MIRACLES  “Like a song whose name is long forgotten, and the circumstances in which you heard completely unremembered. Not the whole song has stayed with you, but just a little wisp of melody, attached not to a person or a place, or anything particular. But you remember, from just this little part, how lovely was the song, how wonderful the setting where you heard it, and how you loved those who were there, and listened with you.” 
And suddenly those lyrics of the song of spirit, all come flooding back and you start to hum and then sing the entire song.  
That passage ends with this, “And, when you see it in each other, you ARE remembering for everyone.”
Yesterday I was sitting at the table outside, the sun was out part of the time, it was nice...  Occasionally a hawk would be circling above.   I was writing and remembering.   Then from across the barnyard one of the horses farted.   It brought a smile to my face and brought me back to life on planet earth.   The song of spirit was in my soul and I was listening to the song of earth.  Then she farted again....  An impressive punctuation mark, don’t you think?
