I will open the present of today with extra care. With any information I receive from all my senses, I will acknowledge the suffering, accept the reality, and respond with benevolence.

I pray that I can find the grace I need to handle the bumps and holes tripping me up.  I feel like a star trying to fit into a square hole. My mind races in dimensions, but I am stuck in a 3-D world. A wounded child, a recovering spirit. I feel responsible for every wrong, yet I know I can only control my present.

I know I will find my center and innate source. In fact, it has never left me. This momentary lapse is a normal part of the journey and an opportunity to grow. I will overcome the negative tapes of intense fear, insecurity, and judgment. I am joy and peace. It is not about avoiding falls, it’s about getting up gracefully with love, trust, and gratitude.
