[The following is a reworked version of my blog of April 24, 2013.]
He prepares a place before me in the presence of my enemies....from The 23rd Psalm.
My enemy is not Gertrude who bad mouths me, who is ugly to me, who treats me with contempt...my enemy is that within me that shows forth as Gertrude's uglies that I resist by bad mouthing her, being ugly to her, treating her with contempt.

It is for me to realize Gertrude as my angel who carries these uglies of mine in order that I may see and recognize them as my own...for me to accept without resistance, by neither cursing her/them nor currying her/their favor.
I see me, and I realize We...ah, the miraculous comfort of Oneness.
Thank you.
