I wish I could show you when you are lonely or in the darkness, the astonishing light of your own being.

Remember for just one minute of the day, it would be best to try looking upon yourself more as God does, for She knows your true royal nature.

Think about the difference between thankfulness and praise.  Thankfulness if us-centered; when things work out the way we want, we're thankful.  Praise is God-centered; praise means becoming aware of God in your life right now... praise is the beginning of healing.

The Peace of Wild Things

When despair for the world grows in me
and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children's lives may be,
I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought
of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars
waiting with their light. For a time
I rest in the grace of the world, and am free
