FORGIVE YOUR NEIGHBORS, WALK IN GLORY

'Not everyone will want ta get a clue… 'bout everything that's good or bad fer you. Forgive them all the things they fail ta know, and as ya practice that, your love will grow. And may your loving cover all of Earth, resentment go right down the nearest drain; within your heart may Spirit bring rebirth, and you arise ta walk up Glory Lane! Sound Good?”

PRAYER II

Prayer

If you would Pray unto the Blest,

look in your Loved one's Eyes,

and tell them that you

Love them Dearly;

let God's Glory Rise.

If you would worship

living Truth,

be quiet for a spell;

Let go your thoughts,

just let them pass;

attend, and do that well.

If you'd commune

with All creation,

thank eternal Grace,

and find within your every breath...

the homeland of God’s face.

A written Prayer's but a Matrix,

Helping You begin,

so reach out for a Guiding Star,

and Let The Light Shine In!
