This Day

if I am the deliverer of pain…. may I inflict

only what is necessary to disturb your sleep…Only

enough to free your suffering.

This Day

if I am the carrier of false pride and

bravado…may it be so to teach you of its emptiness

and bring you humility,

This Day

if I enslave you…may it be so that you

discover your freedom.

…

This Night

if I bring you disrespect… may it be so

that you learn how to honor yourself more tomorrow.

This Night

if I speak false words… may they be so

translucent you are able to breathe through them and

discover your truth

…

This Morning

if I raise my voice in anger… may it be

to expose my weakness so that you may become

strong.

This Morning

if I continue to shun you. may it

only be done so that you embrace yourself.

This Morning

if I leave you. may it be done in order

for you to grow and reclaim your soul.

However…

This Day,

if 1 bring you Joy…may you see its

reflection and know it is in you.

This Day

if I bring you Peace… may you feel its

presence in the very space you fill.

This Day

if 1 bring you Forgiveness… may you know

its freedom and sense its healing.

This Evening

if I show you Tenderness…may it

warm your heart and ignite its flame.

This Evening

if I show you Patience. may it bring

you time to find serenity.

This Evening

if I show you Truth. may it reveal to

you its eternal sovereignty

This Morning

if I support you… may it be done for

your infinite expansion.

This Morning

if I whisper your name in

reverence. may you resonate with your sound.

This Morning

if you surrender to my love for

you…may you come to know it’s boundlessness.
