Living Well

I can not control
what you think of me.
Better yet, I do not
need to, for how you
see me tells more
about you than it does me.

I am who I am
regardless of what
others think or say
about me.

I accept full responsibility
for who I am and how I
live my life. I do not seek
to please others, to conform,
to be anything other than
exactly how my Creator made me.

Others do not abandon us
when they reach the fork
in the road. We each must
choose our destiny and be
faithful to its call.

When people leave our life,
it is because their work with
us is done. Let them leave with
a loving heart, knowing that your
next teacher is arriving soon.

B eloved are those who love.
L ove includes the unlovable.
U nited, all is in God’s matrix.
E volution comes to the seeker.

G ratitude is the divine connection.
R ejoice in the smallest blessing.
E ach moment of life is a gift.
E njoy the present, leaving the past behind.
N ever judge another whose heart you do not know.

R emember who you are and why you are here.
E very problem offers lessons.
D ivine guidance is available for the asking.

Y esterday seeds give today’s harvest.
E ach action produces a reaction.
L earn your lessons well or they will be repeated.
L ove without ceasing.
O wn your mistakes; they offer a chance to grow.
W ear a smile; your best adornment.

Only the pure comes out
of the Well of Goodness.
The sweetest water pours
forth, a single drop can
transmute dark to light.

Drink deeply from this
well, my friend, fill your
jug with its healing flow.
Go forth and offer this water
to all you meet for your jug
will remain full forever.

Pour this balm in polluted
streams, food laced with
sludge of our enemies,
sprinkle drops on fields
farmed dry, left to die in a
cauldron of chemicals
man has strewn.

Offer this blessed water
to all who are sick, sad,
filled with despair, fill your
own cup each day so that
you maintain your goodness, too.

“What is the Well of Goodness,”
you ask, “that it works such
magical charms?” It is the well of
unconditional love that our Creator
has put into the hearts of each
of us. It’s waters last through all time.
