СКАЧАТЬ Is the Person Who Does What Is Right

      Doing the right thing is our best gift;

      That is what brings us bliss and happiness.

      Happy and blissful is the person who does what is right,

      because it is the right thing to do.

      —Vohu Prayer

      — 24 —

      Take the Lesson in Everything That Happens

      And even in our sleep,

      pain that cannot forget

      falls drop by drop upon the heart,

      and in our own despair,

      against our will,

      comes wisdom to us

      by the awful grace of God.

      —Aeschylus

      — 25 —

      Know There Is Love in the World

      At the center of the universe is a

      loving heart that continues to beat

      and that wants the best for every person.

      Anything we can do to help foster

      the intellect and spirit and emotional growth

      of our fellow human beings, that is our job.

      Those of us who have this particular vision

      must continue against all odds.

      Life is for service.

      —Fred Rogers, Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood

      — 26 —

      Have a Compassionate Heart

      Be kind,

      for everyone

      you meet

      is carrying

      a great

      burden.

      —Ian Maclaren, 1898

      — 27 —

      Sink into Joy

      Flowers, sesame-seed, bowls of fresh water, a tuft of kusha grass,

      all this altar paraphernalia is not needed

      by someone who takes the teacher’s words in

      and honestly lives them.

      Full of longing in meditation,

      one sinks into a joy that is free of any impulse to act,

      and will never enter a human birth again.

      —Lalia, 1381

      — 28 —

      Life Is Not for the Faint of Heart

      Fearlessness is better

      than a faint heart

      for any man who puts

      his nose out of doors.

      The length of my life and the day

      of my death were fated long ago.

      —Ancient Norse Verse

      — 29 —

      It’s OK to Be Vulnerable

      Don’t worry, it’s going to be OK.

      It’s all right, little one, you’re safe and loved.

      It’s OK to cry, it’s OK to be afraid, it’s OK to be weak,

      it’s OK to be vulnerable, it’s OK to be human.

      It’s from all these elements that we grow,

      and it’s from all these elements that I am born out of you.

      I Love You.

      You’re not alone.

      So long as you reach out to others, you’re never alone.

      Ask for my help in loaning you the courage you already have.

      It’s not that I never give you more than you can handle,

      I am not responsible for the consequences of your actions,

      only you are.

      Stay on the path if you’re suffering

      by taking the steps you need to take.

      Hang on and hang in there, because it’s now

      that you’re growing at light speed.

      You’re never going backward, only forward.

      —Anonymous

      — 30 —

      Don’t Forget to Color Outside the Lines

      Your attitude is

      like a box of crayons

      that color your world.

      —Allen Klein

      — 31 —

      Put Aside All Anxious Thoughts

      Do not look forward to what may happen

      tomorrow; the same everlasting Father who cares
