Gentle Nurse Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider the verse as a picture of consciousness: the 'we' and the 'you' are states of awareness choosing gentleness as their manner. The 'nurse' is not a person but the tender energy of your own I AM, the nurturing presence you cultivate toward any life that unfolds. When you inhabit that energy, you cherish every fragment of your world—relationships, struggles, and even conflict—like a mother cherishes her child. The outer scene then reflects your inner care; you are not seeking to change others from the outside, but to adjust the inner climate from which perception arises. Gentleness, far from weakness, is a creator’s power, softening resistance, inviting trust, and awakening growth in others. By treating others as fellow life-consciousness and as beings you already cherish, you dissolve separation in imagination. The practice is simple: assume you are the nurse of the heart, tending those you meet with quiet, steady love, and notice how your inner posture modifies what you experience.
