A Prayer:I want to be ever a child I want to feel an eternal friendship for the raindrops, the flowers, the insects, the snowflakes. I want to be keenly interested in everything, with mind and muscle ever alert, forgetting my troubles in the next moment. The stars and the sea, the ponds and the trees, the birds and the animals, are my comrades. Though my muscles may stiffen, though my skin may wrinkle, may I never find myself yawning at life. ~Toyohiko Kagawa ~ (Songs from the Slums, trans. by Lois Erickson)

Daily...I need to care for my physical, spiritual, emotional and mental health. Exercise Meditation Random acts of kindness Journal Water

Exercise- Just Go- ( I go running) Do 5 ( of anything for strength) Just do today-(how I handle stress) Work from the Outside in and the inside out. ~ Wendell Berry ~ (The Sabbath Poems, 1993, I) No, no, there is no going back. Less and less you are that possibility you were. More and more you have become those lives and deaths that have belonged to you. You have become a sort of grave containing much that was and is no more in time, beloved then, now, and always. And so you have become a sort of tree standing over the grave. Now more than ever you can be generous toward each day that comes, young, to disappear forever, and yet remain unaging in the mind. Every day you have less reason not to give yourself away.

"When you are in alignement with who you really are, you cannot help but uplift those with whom you come into contact. Your value to those around you hinges upon only one thing: your personal alignment with source. And the only thing you have to give to another is an example of that alignment, which they may observe, then desire, and then work to achieve." via Runi my yoga teacher

Add a Link Every day, think as you wake up, today I am fortunate to be alive, I have a precious human life, I am not going to waste it. I am going to use all my energies to develop myself, to expand my heart out to others; to achieve enlightenment for the benefit of all beings. I am going to have kind thoughts towards others, I am not going to get angry or think badly about others. I am going to benefit others as much as I can." -- H.H. the Dalai Lama Mountain time
