The world can often deceive us,
It’s often bright and illusory,
We can be swept up in its whirlwind,
And forget to pray or curtsy;
We see the enticing adverts,
A world of perpetual motion,
But what is needed is meditation,
Not periods of confusion and commotion.
“The wise man regards watchfulness as his greatest treasure.” The DHAMMAPADA.
Thank You dear God for the earth,
This lovely place of my birth,
Thank You for everything,
Including love and mirth;
Thank You dear God for life,
Thank You dear God for joy,
I should say thank You all the time,
For I'm now a very grateful boy.
“Control the tongue, you will control all desires.” SIVANANDA.
Oh God Supreme,
God eternal,
You are my core,
You are my kernal;
You are the energy,
That lives within,
Allowing us beauty,
Zest and vim.
"Within each of us there is a silenceas vast as the universe. We long for it. We can return to it." JACK KORNFIELD.
Dearest God, thank You for my lungs,
Thank You for my heart,
Thank You for my body,
This fabulous work of art;
Thank You for each day,
Thank You for each night,
Thank You for Your love,
And thank You for letting me see the light.
