A Little Prayer
O Lord of Grace and Mercy!
Please keep away from me
What keeps me away from You
And Please bring close to me
What brings me close to You.

The Wise Teacher
A wise teacher is like a mother sheep
She distills the essence of her own food
To feed her lamb pure, nourishing milk
Unlike a crow, who feeds her chick
Half-chewed, regurgitated worms

Mirrors
The World needs more mirrors
So that we can see ourselves
With all the faults and errors
That we think only afflict others
I need a big polished mirror myself
To grant me the gift of self-awareness
