Revering the Beauty and Goodness

“We are aided by appreciating the good in our lives, the availability of beauty, the uplifting energy of community. We are nourished by being able to connect to something bigger, both in our personal lives and in viewing the world. In Buddhist teaching, it is called gladdening the mind, creating an ease of heart that can accompany us in times of adversity.”

Affirmative prayer: Today, my mind and heart art gladdened by my connection with the people in my sphere and with human souls throughout the world. I revere the beauty, the goodness, and the openness of my companions on this journey of life. Thank you, God, forever. Amen.
