Prayer for Today

Dear Inner Sanctuary Self Care Community,

Today I’m sharing this prayer and photo from a Buddhist community here in Vermont:

“In these times of fear, anger and unrest, 

may we give to all those we meet or think about, 

the gift of respect, the gift of caring, the gift of fearlessness.  

May we see each person, being and thing as a shining jewel in the vast web of interconnectedness.  

Recognizing that we are not separate, 

recognizing that each has the spark of Buddha Nature.

 

May there be peace in the nation.  

Peace born of safety.  

Peace born of mutual respect and care.  

Peace born of lovingkindness.”

Take awesome care of yourself this week! Our self care practices truly sustain us, little bit by little bit. Remember to slow down and rest.

A friend reminded me yesterday, that when I hear my wind chimes, to stop and reflect on the beauty of the moment. I did just that…and ended up stringing up a hammock outside under my deck to be quiet and listen to the wind and rain.

With so much love,
