Silvery moon hangs high in the sky.
I ride a tiny boat in the vast and misty sea.
Moon and sea forgotten;
I forget that I have forgotten.
And before the window
I sit quietly in meditation until midnight.
– Jakushitsu (1290–1368)
Zen Quote
From dailyzen.com:
Wanting nothing,
With all your heart stop the stream
When the world dissolves,
Everything becomes clear.
Go beyond this way or that way,
To the farther shore
Where the world dissolves
And everything becomes clear.
Beyond this shore and the farther shore,
Beyond the beyond,
Where there is no beginning, no end,
Without fear, go.
– Buddha in the Dhammapada
Gratefulness Prayer
There is a paragraph that I recite just about every day. It’s the Gratefulness Prayer. I do it to remind myself of what’s important in life and to remind myself that every day, every thing is a gift. Good bad or indifferent, the lessons we learn are gifts of the Universe and we should never forget that. Anyway, this prayer does a lot to keep me on track and keep me honest about what I’m learning in this life.
I thought others may benefit from this prayer, so I offer it to my 5 readers (LOL) as it was offered to me by an acquaintance over a year ago.
Gratefulness Prayer
Thank you for the love in my life. Thank you for the love that surrounds me. Thank you for the miracle of life that I am and for the miracle of life I see reflected all about me. Thank you for the gift of life that I am. Thank you for my perfect body, my health and vitality. Thank you for the abundance that I am. Thank you for the richness of my life. Thank you for the money that flows to me. Thank you for the excitement and adventure of the millions of possibilities and probabilities. Thank you for the beauty and harmony. Thank you for the peace and tranquility. Thank you for the laughter and the play.
This prayer should be recited, sung or chanted every day. Your gratefulness energy will flow from you and allow the good things in life to flow to you.
I hope you get as much from it as I have.
Namaste.
Pay attention!
Things I’ve learned this week:
1. Black fishnet thigh highs with red lace make the Taurus incredibly horny. :-)
2. Keep saying your gratefulness prayers. They work!
3. Teachers are everywhere. Pay attention to what you’re being shown.
4. Allow useless thoughts, habits and people fall away like chaff.
5. Know with your heart that you will find your path. You will.
What to do with this info? Well, first, I’ll buy more thigh highs…
