      The Greatest Truth of Love

      don’t be afraid

      of what you do not understand

      and cannot yet grasp

      if you are lost

      in the dark night of the soul

      nothing has ever happened

      that was not meant

      even if your thoughts

      tell you this is not so

      we share the same intertwined heaven

      we are carried and held in the same light

      we are loved in the same light

      light will not elude you

      let every breath

      fill your mind with peace

      let your soul unfold courageously

      in divine wisdom

      and open itself for the beautiful things

      that want to enter your life from the future

      the greatest truth of love

      the only thing that matters

      is that you are alive.

      —Swedish Chant

      A Guide for Those Who Have Lost Their Way

      May I become at all times, both now and forever

      A protector for those without protection

      A guide for those who have lost their way

      A ship for those with oceans to cross

      A bridge for those with rivers to cross

      A sanctuary for those in danger

      A lamp for those without light

      A place of refuge for those who lack shelter

      And a servant to all in need.

      —Buddhist Prayer of Peace

      Only Connect

      A thousand fibers connect us

      with our fellow men;

      and among those fibers,

      as sympathetic threads,

      our actions run as causes,

      and they come back to us as effects.

      —Herman Melville

      — 13 —

      We Are on the Same Path

      Religions are different roads

      converging upon the same point.

      What does it matter

      that we take different roads

      so long as we reach the same goal.

      —Mahatma Gandhi

      For Every Care, a Promise

      May God give you

      For every storm, a rainbow

      For each tear, a smile

      For every care, a promise

      And a blessing in each trial.

      A faithful friend to share,

      For every sigh, a sweet song,

      And an answer for each prayer.

      May the blessing of God’s soft rain be on you.

      —From Irish Oral Tradition

      The Buddha’s Guide to Gratitude

      Give thanks

      For what has been given to you,

      However little.

      Be pure, never falter.

      —Buddha

      — 16 —

      Seek and Ye Shall Find

      Ask, and it shall be given you;

      Seek, and you shall find;

      Knock, and it shall be opened to you.

      For whoever asks, receives;
