IF THE ONLY PRAYER YOU SAID IN YOUR LIFE WAS "THANK YOU", THAT WOULD SUFFICE. ~Meister Eckhart

Faith

If you pray for God to move a mountain, be prepared to wake up next to a shovel. ~unknown
Today I am grateful...
  • that I have been able to empty out a lot of darkness to make room for light
  • that it's a rare day when I have the desire to 'get even'
  • that I have been blessed with many loved ones
  • for jokes, puns and asides that keep me laughing and groaning
  • for the kindness of strangers
I have faith. That thing that makes the world seem right. That thing that makes sense at last. That awareness of the Divine Principle in the universe which holds it all together and gives it unity and purpose and goodness and meaning. Life is no longer ashes in my mouth or bitter to the taste. It is all one glorious whole, because God is holding it together. Faith--that leap into the unknown, the venture into what lies beyond our ken, that which brings untold rewards of peace and serenity. ~Twenty-Four Hours a Day

I fuck'n love that quote. I've been waking up with that shovel and it's got to go.
