No longer worry about yourself, your friends, the world. No longer concern yourself with the if's and the when's. No longer open the wounds of life and examine them. Look further. Look higher. You can let go of that which bothers you or might bother you or has bothered you. You can let go of bother.

There is no end to what can happen, and you cannot predict. If you could really predict, you would predict more pleasant events than the ones you find to worry about. What you worry about occupies your mind. I suggest that you occupy your mind with the wonders before you.

It is like you have two boxes in front of you. You can open the box you want. One box says Pandora's Box. The other says Dreams to Come True. Ahem, which box holds the contents you would like? For what earthly good would you want to examine the contents of Pandora's Box? For Heavens' sakes, open the Box of Dreams to Come True!

Or there could be signs painted on doors. One door says The Past. In smaller print it says You Already Went through This Door.

One door says The Future. In smaller print it says, Wait. Not yet. Too soon.

And one door says The Present. In smaller print it is says Right Now. It says Open Me. This door also has a picture of the sun on it.

There is an envelope that says Confederate Money. There is an envelope that says Current Currency. There is an envelope that says I.O.U.'s. Which envelope would your hand reach out for?

Goldilocks had three beds to choose from. She saw the beds. Then she lay down on each bed, trying it out for size. She found the bed that was just right. In life, you cannot try out the beds. You are sleeping in only one bed now. In terms of your life, one bed no longer exists, and another hasn't been built yet. There is only one bed to lie on.

There are three rivers before you. Which one do you cross? There is a river that you already swam across. This river water is dank and stale now. There is a river far in the distance. You can't quite reach it now. You can't cross it yet. You have to wait until you get there. And there is a third river sparkling in the sun. Your foot is in it already. What choice do you really have but to cross the river that is right before you?

It is an easy crossing. You don't have to forge the river. Just be in the river, and the waves will carry you across.

I know you know which box to choose, what door to open, what envelope to put in your pocket, what bed to sleep on, and which river to cross. You have common sense. Somewhere you have it.

Let's add a little dimension to each choice. No matter what you choose, no matter how much you hesitate to locate yourself where you are, of course I AM within each choice. You can note Me as God Past, Present, and Future. I won't deny that. I exist everywhere in what is called time. You can leave the past to Me. You can leave the future to Me. And you can walk with Me right now in that which We call the Present. Walk with Me full well knowing that there is not really a present either. We already are walking together. The road we walk on says Eternity. We walk hand in hand in a timeless place without boundaries. This is where We are. You might as well know where you are and with Whom you are limitlessly. Eternity is more than an eon and a day. In fact, there are no demarcations in the road We walk on.
