Inspiration – Praying to Be Kind

This poem from Danna Faulds really resonates with me. I shared it at the end of class today. Enjoy the discovery along the way 💛🙏💛

I used to think that
being smart, successful,
and accomplished was
the key. And then I
believed that being a
disciplined seeker would
open doors to divinity.
Now it seems to me all
that really matters is 
being kind - kind to my
stumbling, imperfect self,
kind to every other being
I meet along the way.
I pray for the rough edges
of my judgment to be
smoothed so what remains
is kindness and acceptance 
of this unfolding moment.
Inside this kindness may I
find truth and may truth
illumine my way today. Amen
