Make me an instrument of your peace;
where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy;
 
Grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love;
for it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
 and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

Give up the world;  give up self;  finally give up God.

 

Find god in rhododendrons and rocks,

 

passers-by,  your cat.

 

Pare your beliefs,  your Absolutes.

 

Make it simple;  make it clean.

 

No carry-on luggage allowed.

 

Examine all you have

 

with a loving and critical eye,  then

 

throw away some more.

 

Repeat.    Repeat.

 

Keep this and only this:

 

       What your heart beats loudly for.

 

       What feels heavy and full in your gut.

 

There will only be one or two

 

things you will keep,

 

and they will fit lightly

 

in your pocket.
