[CIMS] Stillness by Helen Schucman

Stillness

By Helen Schucman*

My soul is still. It does not know the thoughts

My mind imagines. It does not perceive

My meaningless endeavors, nor the goals

Of sin and madness in which I believe.

Immovable my soul remains, and sure

Of immortality, in peace so deep

That all the shocks I feel can not come near

Its limitless tranquility. I sleep,

and dream of evil and decay and death,

Of which my soul knows nothing. Perfectly

It rests in its Creator and in me.

*Helen Schucman, scribe of A Course in Miracles, was also a poet and wrote several poems even while she was scribing A Course in Miracles.

The book is available through FIP, through the Community Miracles Center CMC and through Course in Miracles Society CIMS
