A Prayer for Resilience

Oh God,

We live in troubled times

and you expect us to be resilient,

you ask us to cooperate.

To be honest,

it can be a bit difficult

to yield to the greater good.

To be clear,

It would be nice for You to intervene;

but our acceptance is more important.

Help us, for we need your help

to see what You see,

and hear what you hear.

Help us to walk together in harmony

and rest assured

that you are happy with us.

We ask this with heartfelt confidence

that  we are good, do good

and are a power for good.

Beauty has been restored

In the movie "Harvey", Elwood P Dowd, played by Jimmy Stewart, explains coping with the world this way: "Years ago my mother used to say to me, she'd say, 'In this world, Elwood, you must be' - she always called me Elwood - 'In this world, Elwood, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant.' Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant. You may quote me." Well, for years I was smart, oh so very smart, I too recommend pleasant - Trust the harmony
