May I have the courage today
To live the life that I would love,
To postpone my dream no longer
But do at last what I came here for
And waste my heart on fear no more.


~ John O'Donohue ~

I don't know exactly what a prayer is.
I do know how to pay attention,
how to fall down into the grass,
how to kneel down in the grass,
how to be idle and blessed,
how to stroll through the fields,
which is what I have been doing all day.

...Tell me, what else should I have done?
Doesn't everything die at last, and too soon?

Tell me, what is it you plan to do
with your one wild and precious life?

A Hopi Elder Speaks

"You have been telling people that this is the eleventh hour, now you must go back and tell the people that this is the hour. And there are things to be considered.

Where are you living?
What are you doing?
What are your relationships?
Are you in right relation?
Where is your water?
Know your garden.
It is time to speak your Truth.
Create your community.
Be good to each other.
And do not look outside yourself for the leader."

Then he clasped his hands together, smiled, and said, "This could be a good time! There is a river flowing now very fast. It is so great and swift that there are those who will be afraid. They will try to hold onto the shore. they will feel they are being torn apart and will suffer greatly.

"Know the river has its destination. The elders say we must let go of the shore, push off into the middle of the river, keep our eyes open, and our heads above water.

"And I say, see who is in there with you and celebrate. At this time in history, we are to take nothing personally, least of all ourselves. For the moment that we do, our spiritual growth and journey comes to a halt.

"The time of the lone wolf is over. Gather yourselves!

"Banish the word struggle from your attitude and vocabulary. All that we do now must be done in a sacred manner and in celebration.

"We are the ones we have been waiting for."

"I give thanks to all those who caused me stress and upset as they showed me the parts of myself that needed healing and brought these unhealed parts to the surface to deepen my practice of forgiveness and advance my healing. I give thanks to those who shared their love and kindness and reminded me of my true nature. Each moment I have life and awareness I give thanks for the blessings of my creation."

Divine Healing

"Know that all strength, all healing of every nature is the changing of the vibrations from within - the attuning of the divine within the living tissue of a body to Creative Energies. This alone is healing. Whether it is accomplished by the use of drugs, the knife or what not, it is the attuning of the atomic structure of the living cellular force to its spiritual heritage."

Edgar Cayce (reading 1967-1)

White Eagle on Healing

To heal sick bodies is good, but to heal the soul is better. When your heart is full of love and compassion, you are sending out from your own center the light which God has implanted in you as a tiny seed. As you aspire to the Great White Spirit, God, so this light and power grows in you.

Every thought of God, every small effort that you make to think rightly, to reach up to a higher level of truth, goodness, purity, and love, is a help to heal the world. This manifestation of sunlight through you, the quiet infiltration of this holy light into human hearts and lives, will indeed heal the whole world.
