Life's Choices

We must honor what is in our hearts, And live in harmony with all parts of the world around us. I honor the entire world. I choose not to desecrate my sacred Mother Earth out of my own stupidity and selfishness. I allow birth, death, and rebirth to live as one entity. I know father & mother, yin & yang, discipline & compassion. I know I must find balance in their being woven together, as the sky must balance its weaving with the earth. I choose freely to help keep this earth clean & healthy and I am able to understand that her well-being equals my own well-being. I know that knowledge and growth and understanding come from experience, not from easy answers. I choose not be prejudice against others who are a different race or religion, merely because my own vision is so limited in comparison to the vastness of this diverse cosmos. I allow the intricate family of the Universe which is so close to my own soul, to live peacefully & fruitfully together. I pray that the fabric of who I am can be a messenger. I hope that the fabric of each of us can be woven together with the colors of the Universe, thus making happiness, fulfillment and prosperity ours. The weaving, in this way being synchronized will allow us to find an important personal & collective balance. The Universe will then come together in peace & harmony as we are able to work in unison and in sincerity. It is up to us each to make the balance or tip the scale!
