I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
---------------------------------------------------
Another week begins Lord
as I wander through the days
I will come across many things
I will be offered
many things
love
joy
hate
anger
I will attempt many things
I will succeed at some
and fail at others
I will have many opportunities
to stuff
things into my emotional backback
many opportunities
to carry "stuff" along with me
Lord
help me to be wise
help me to make good choices
about what I pick up
and carry
and what things I leave lying by the side of the road
may I choose not to carry things things that will burden and hinder
may I choose not to fill my heart
with things that darken
and promote anger
and
hate and fear
Lord, may I
learn to travel light
