СКАЧАТЬ doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

      Therefore be at peace with God,

      whatever you conceive Him to be,

      and whatever your labors and aspirations,

      in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.

      With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,

      it is still a beautiful world.

      Be cheerful.

      Strive to be happy.

      —Max Ehrmann, 1927

      With Deep Prayer Comes Deep Peace

      Pray for what you cannot see.

      Pray clearly

      for what you can only faintly grasp.

      Pray silently

      from the core of your being.

      Pray for healing.

      Pray for humanity.

      Pray lovingly

      Pray deeply—

      pray so deeply that

      the prayer and the praying

      become one.

      —Charlie Elkind

      Know That You Are Not Alone

      All you who sleep tonight

      Far from the ones you love,

      No hand to left or right,

      And emptiness above—

      Know that you aren’t alone.

      The whole world shares your tears,

      Some for two nights or one,

      And some for all their years.

      —Vikram Seth

      You Won’t Feel This Way Forever

      That’s how you stay alive.

      When it hurts so much you can’t breathe,

      that’s how you survive.

      By remembering that,

      one day, somehow, impossibly,

      you won’t feel this way.

      It won’t hurt this much.

      —Grey’s Anatomy

      — 6 —

      Eternal Love for All in the World

      For as long as space endures

      And for as long as living beings remain

      Until then may I too abide

      To dispel the misery of the world.

      —Shantideva

      — 7 —

      Let That Word Be: Thanks

      Better

      than if there were thousands

      of meaningless words is

      one

      meaningful

      word

      that on hearing

      brings peace.

      Better

      than if there were thousands

      of meaningless verses is

      one

      meaningful

      verse

      that on hearing

      brings peace.

      And better than chanting hundreds

      of meaningless verses is

      one

      Dhamma-saying

      that on hearing

      brings peace.

      —Dhammapada, VIIIii, attributed to Buddha

      All Things Must Pass

      Let nothing disturb you.

      Let nothing frighten you.

      All things are passing away;

      God never changes.

      Patience obtains all things.

      Whoever has God lacks nothing;

      God alone suffices.

      —Saint Teresa of Avila

      — 9 —

      Toward Heaven

      Refuse to fall down.

      If you cannot refuse to fall down,

      refuse to stay down.

      If you cannot refuse to stay down,

      lift your heart toward heaven

      and like a hungry beggar,
