May the blessing of light be upon you.
Light on the outside, light on the inside.
With God's sunlight shining on you,
may your heart glow with warmth like a turf fire
that welcomes friends and strangers alike.
May the light of the Lord shine from your eyes
like a candle in the window welcoming the weary traveler.
May the blessing of God's soft rain be on you,
falling gently on your head refreshing your soul
with the sweetness of little flowers newly blooming.
May the strength of the winds of heaven bless you,
carrying the rain to wash your spirit clean,
sparkling in the sunlight.

I arise each morning
torn between a desire to save the world,
and a desire to savor the world.

A beautiful thought:
Happy moments, praise God.
Difficult moments, seek God.
Quiet moments, worship God.
Painful moments, trust God.
Every moment, thank God.

Everyday is so wonderful
Then suddenly
It's hard to breathe
Now and then I get insecure
From all the pain
I'm so ashamed
I am beautiful
No matter what they say
Words can't bring me down
I am beautiful
In every single way
Yes words can't bring me down
So don't you bring me down today
To all your friends you're delirious
You're so consumed
In all your doom
Trying hard to fill the emptiness
The pieces gone
Left the puzzle undone
Is that the way it is?
'Cause you are beautiful
No matter what they say
Words can't bring you down
'Cause you are beautiful
In every single way
Yes words can't bring you down
So don't you bring me down today
No matter what we do
No matter what we say
We're the song inside the tune
Full of beautiful mistakes
And everywhere we go
The sun will always shine
And tomorrow we might awake
On the other side
'Cause we are beautiful
No matter what they say
Yes words won't bring us down
We are beautiful
In every single way
Yes words can't bring us down
So don't you bring me down today.

Love is God's creation, the whole
and every grain of sand in it.
Love every leaf, every ray of God's light.
Love the animals, love the plants,
love everything. If you love everything,
you will perceive the diving mystery in things.
Once you perceive it, you will begin to
comprehend it better every day. And you
will come at last to love the whole world
with an all-embracing love.
- Fyodor Dostoyevsky
