I believe in one Life, one Being,
one great compassionate Spirit,
infinite and eternal
manifested in various forms
here and now.
I believe the present moment
offers just what I need
for peace and happiness.
No matter the situation or
circumstance, I can choose inner peace right now.
By consciously choosing peace,
intentional prayer, and
expanding my heart to others,
that peace can be shared with the world.
On behalf of all and for all
I accept peace now.

So you have those scars
those gaping wounds
ripped across your soul
memories of knives surgically mending your being.
Put them away.
Here, throw this over them.
Only you and I will know they are there.
Only you and I can
be aware
of the hurt that was removed from your heart.
Only you and I need to know the tears
you shed
of pain and joy
of seeing the suffering go away.
Only you can take this badge to cover them
smile
move on and say
it is okay
I am still whole.
