VANITY BE FAR FROM ME



 “Ambition, vanity, and pride mislead, when people idolize themselves, you know. Humility and truth could get me freed, and loving-kindness help my blessings flow. Lord, Help me not ta think of me too high, but keep each day a very level head, and not to live confused by any lie – but all and any narcissism shed!”

SATISFACTION & GRATITUDE


I wandered very far from ecstasy, contentment fell away from me as well – then thanks, like jasmine's fragrance, rose in me, when you were kinder than my tongue can tell. Sweet gratitude, receive my welcome-back, and please, don't ever leave my heart alone. When satisfaction is the grace I lack, may I recall my love's what must be shown….”
