"Feel with your heart" ~ not sure where I heard it, perhaps..
Good morning, God, and thank you for everything, love, Jackie
In the
morning when you awake, breathe in peace, breathe out love...
Among friends and even strangers, breathe in peace, breathe out love...
In the afternoon, walking or sitting, breathe in love, breathe out joy...
In the evening before retiring, breathe in joy, breathe out thanks...
Among friends and even strangers, breathe in peace, breathe out love...
In the afternoon, walking or sitting, breathe in love, breathe out joy...
In the evening before retiring, breathe in joy, breathe out thanks...

"Not Christian or Jew or Muslim, not Hindu, Buddhist, sufi, or zen. Not any religion or cultural system. I am not from the East or the West, not out of the ocean or up from the ground, not natural or ethereal, not composed of elements at all. I do not exist, am not an entity in this world or the next, did not descend from Adam or Eve or any origin story. My place is placeless, a trace of the traceless. Neither body or soul. I belong to the beloved, have seen the two worlds as one and that one call to and know, first, last, outer, inner, only that breath breathing human being. from "Essential Rumi" as translated by Coleman Barks

"You're beautiful / You are made for so much more than all of this / You're beautiful / You are treasured, you are sacred / You are His / You're beautiful / Praying that you have the heart to fight / 'Cause you are more than what is hurting you tonight / For all the lies you've held inside so long / They are nothing in the shadow of the cross... You're Beautiful..." ~ Mercy Me "Beautiful"
Zen and the art of letting go with love and compassion...
