My life reflects to peace of Cosmic communion
I invite my spiritual nature to inspire me
I gladly open my hear to Divine Wisdom
Faith filled , I am fulfilled.
Assuredly I access a Divine light for every journey

The Spirit of God within me is the joy of my soul
As I enter into prayer, it is a home of love and peace for my soul.
Sometimes God brings me to attention by a blow from the hand of my friend and caresses me by the hand of an enemy.
I recognize and live my spiritual identity
Where there is love in the hearts, all situations are covered. Where there is beauty in the souls, all feelings are gently and perfectly exposed. And where there is a desire for Harmony, souls will dance together their beings into the Oneness chord of Divine Truth.
