In the magical quiet of the night
I'll let your soul descend upon me
to the point where surrender is inevitable and
I am made malleable by the warm touch of your love...

A PRAYER FOR THE LIVING
Life,
Break in me whatever needs to be broken.
Fix my hope of ever being fixed.
Use me. Draw every ounce of creativity out of me. Help me live a radically unique life, forever forging a never-before-trodden path in the forest.
Show me how to love more deeply than I ever thought possible.
Whatever I am still turning away from, keep shoving in my face.
Whatever I am still at war with, help me soften towards, relax into, fully embrace.
Where my heart is still closed, show me a way to open it without violence.
Where I am still holding on, help me let go.
Give me challenges and struggles and seemingly insurmountable obstacles, if that will bring an even deeper humility and trust in the intelligence of life.
Help me laugh at my own seriousness.
Allow me to find the humour in the dark places.
Show me a profound sense of rest in the midst of the storm.
Don't spare me from the truth. Ever.
Let gratitude be my guide.
Let forgiveness be my mantra.
Let this moment be a constant companion.
Let me see your face in every face.
Let me feel your warm presence in my own presence.
Hold me when I stumble.
Breathe me when I cannot breathe.
Let me die living, not live dying.

CROSS YOUR OWN BOUNDARIES

Every time you are unhappy or miserable,
you are just coming in touch with
your own boundaries.
It is limitation and boundary that is
the real cause of your disturbance.
You are peaceful and happy until
come in contact with your boundaries.
The moment you come in contact with it,
then the mind goes on a trip and
you move out of your centre.
At that moment what can you do?
You can just be grateful and pray for peace.
That very moment,
you will start smiling and however
hopeless the situation is,
you will walk through it.
The creation wants you to be happy.
God wants to see you full of
enthusiasm, joy, compassion and being happy.
But what do you do?
You keep a long face,
worry about this or that. What’s the fun?
Life is not meant for this.
God is trying his level best;
He has created so many things
for you to be happy.
God only helps those who help themselves.
So everyday make a resolution. “Today,
I am just going to be happy come what may.
I will not let anything disturb my happiness.
I am going to be contended, happy.”
