Hold on

"Hold on to what is good, even if it's a handful of earth.
Hold on to what you believe, even if it's a tree that stands by itself.
Hold on to what you must do, even if it's a long way from here.
Hold on to your life, even if it's easier to let go.
Hold on to my hand, even if someday I'll be gone away from you."

~ A Pueblo Indian Prayer

Though justice be

Thy plea, consider this:
That in the course of justice
none of us should see salvation.
We do pray for mercy,
And that same prayer
doth teach us all to render
The deeds of mercy.

~William Shakespeare

Walt Whitman

"Walt Whitman once wrote that we should learn how to LET GO in life---as he put it: "To stand apart from pulling and hauling....amused, complacent, compassionating, idle, unitary......both in and out of the game and watching and wondering at it all." Instead of being amused, I'm only anxious. Instead of watching, I'm always probing and interfering. The other day, in prayer to God, I said: "Look.....I understand that the unexamined life is not worth living. But do you think I could some day have an unexamined lunch?"

~Elizabeth Gilbert, in "Eat, Pray, Love."

Keep Watch

Keep watch, dear Lord, with those who work, or watch, or weep this night, and give your angels charge over those who sleep. Tend the sick, Lord Christ; give rest to the weary, bless the dying, soothe the suffering, pity the afflicted, shield the joyous and all for your love's sake.

~A Christian Prayer

A Child's Prayer

There are four corners on my bed,

Our prayers
