....prayer

she  lost the boundaries between herself and the prayer.....

mixing together they became the same thing....
rather than confusing her, 

it changed her and she was never the same again.

Pray for your desired experience

rather than the thing that represents the experience.

Allen Cohen

A novel idea.   

One I've heard before, using a lot more words...

I think I will make the sincere effort it will take to put it into practice..

I sounds so freeing to me.

......flowers and flags

I took a walk yesterday in a field of flowers...

And when I returned the Bear had erected this pole of Pray Flags reaching to the sky above my studio garden..

.

May my feet rest firmly on the ground

May my head touch the sky

May I see clearly

May I have the capacity to listen

May I be free to touch

May my words be true

May my heart and mind be open

May my hands be empty to fill the need

May my arms be open to others

May my gifts be reveled to me

So I may return that which has been given

Completing the great circle.

.....prayer for you

"May today there be peace within. May you trust that you are exactly where you are meant to be. May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith in yourself and others. May you use the gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you.
May you be content with yourself just the way you are. Let this knowledge settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love. It is there for each and every one of us.''

This wonderful prayer was sent to me by my friend Sharon and I immediately wanted to share it with all of you...

namaste, julie
