Spending the day in that Higher Love

An extraordinary (for me) lesson today from Rev. Beth Daniel Head plus a transcendant meditation by Michelle Lyon. I heard Stevie Winwood’s Higher Love on the way to church and it dumbstruck me with Love: “I could light the night up with my soul on fire, I could make the sun shine from pure desire, Let me feel that love come over me, Let me feel how strong it could be. Bring me a higher love.” Then at Unity of Melbourne they amped up the Love, we sang upbeat versions of Here I Am Lord, and Give It Away and Daniel Nahmod’s More than Enough.  I always find myself holding hands with whoever I sit next to in church, like the Love is too much to contain without sharing it. When I yearn for that higher Love, and settle for nothing less, I’m rewarded by being emotionally awashed in such deep Grace and Presence that no person in the flesh could ever rival.  I left early to be alone with my thoughts and to bask in that feeling of connection and higher Love.  From that place, I see there are no problems and that all is right with the world.  Yep, all of it.
