Wonder Morning

Oh, our sweet, Jesus,
We offer you this day our intentions,
our fears and concerns,
our worries and tears,
our smiles and laughers,
our hands and the works of our hands.

Saturate our thoughts with honest determination,
In tune our voices with the melody of your compassion...

May our actions reflect your Words,
Our faces with your loving understanding...

Amen

Smile

 

“Let's start the day with a smile, and end it with no guile :)  ”

Kindness

 

"Kindness heals, kindness saves, kindness does, kindness does not ask why..."

Shine

 

“Our weaknesses are like holes through which God's grace could shine.”

The Master of the Sky

Be like an Eagle in the sky
Seeing the storm's eye
It squints and spreads its mighty wings
Up it glides, up it slides.

The stronger the storm
The prouder its form
While chicks and crooks are pleading
It dances in the wind's whistling.

It rises above the storm
It lives beyond the norm
Learn from this creature's eye
And master your own sky…

Conflict

“We don't need a conflict-free world. What we need are people who brave the waves of conflicts, determined to reach the shore of understanding and reconciliation.”

Barking

"A barking dog is an annoyance to its neighbors"

UnFazed

“A lion is unfazed by the dog’s barking.”

Five Elements of Gaia

I am fire.
I burn to destroy and to purify.
I test the integrity of every atom in the universe.
I turn darkness into light and give hope to everyone.

I am water.
I am the life flowing in your bones,
in your blood, in your every sinew.
I quench thirst and wash away all impurities.

I am air.
I bring life to every living being.
I carry God's message to everyone
To the just and skeptics alike.

I am earth.
I boot every living being out into this world
And devour them back when their time comes.
I mother everything in this world.

I am a person.
I have created fire and brought light in darkness
I built bridges and sailed the seas.
I think, I feel, I love, I hurt, I forgive
I am I.

Memory

“Eventually, we'll all be a part of someone else's memory; and our names will be written in their books. We'll either be a hero, a cameo or a tyrant. The good thing is: we could choose our role before and while it is written.”

Grownup

“A grownup is a stubborn person who refuses to blame his dna, parents, co-workers, computer virus, the traffic and the weather for his misery.”
